91É«Ç鯬 was in Montreal, Canada and attended the prestigious SPIE Conference that brings together Astronomy, Technology and Engineering experts from all over the world. Picture of the 91É«Ç鯬 team representatives at our booth in the Exhibition Hall where 91É«Ç鯬's latest technologies and instrumentation were presented.
91É«Ç鯬 and US-ELTP attendees at US-ELTP's booth at the 240th annual American Astronomical Society conference.
The 91É«Ç鯬 SSA unit has been fitted together for the first time in India.
First 91É«Ç鯬 Segment Support Assembly (SSA) successfully completed. This photograph, taken at the L&T assembly lab, shows a complete segment mechanical support system with position actuators and whiffle trees mechanical interfaces.
India-91É«Ç鯬, along with industry partner Larsen and Toubro (L&T) in Coimbatore, have successfully manufactured and assembled the first Segment Support Assembly for 91É«Ç鯬 production.
91É«Ç鯬 volunteers participated in the outreach event, offering activities on exoplanets, telescopic observations and even a virtual reality journey through the planned 91É«Ç鯬 observatory.
