Chennai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) may soon allow school students to use its laboratories to carry out project work.
This was informed by Mayilsamy Annadurai, Project Director of Chandrayaan-I.
Annadurai said, "The growing interest among school children on space research after the success of Chandrayaan-I will give an impetus to space research in future."
"Now, around 200 graduate and postgraduate students are allowed to use ISRO lab to carry out their project work," added Annadurai.
Interacting with students Dr. Annadurai answered queries raised by students.
"As the success of Indian space research has come at a time of the slump in the IT industry, many bright young minds in the country will start to think of a career in space research," he added.
Dr. Annadurai also said that the country could achieve the long term goals of space research in a short span of time if more school students came forward to contribute to research in the field.
He mentioned the importance of tapping the potential of the moon in meeting the energy needs of the country.
