Space research center Panhala
|
| Panhala is located at 16.82° N, 74.12° E and at 3177 ft. (968 meter) height from sea level. The sky conditions for astronomical observation are most suitable (6 times better) as compared to Shivaji University campus. So, SUK set up Space Research Center, (SRC) at Panhala. Dr.R. S.Vhatkar is the coordinator of SRC. The vision of this laboratory is to establish international level space research centre by installing state of the art related facilities and also to popularize space science, using optical telescopes for astronomical observations of celestial objects and events amongst school and college students and in general public, including tourists. These optical telescopes shall also be used for scientific studies of celestial studies. Currently, three instruments are working in the laboratory which are IRNSS Receiver (installed by ISRO on 4th March 2016), RIOMETER (Relative Ionospheric Opacity Meter) and Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance (SID) unit (in cooperation with Stanford solar center, California). The data from all these instruments have been recorded on regularly basis. |
