IITMSAT Ground Station
IITMSAT is a student satellite project centered around the specialized payload known as SPEED (Space-based Proton Electron Energy Detector). SPEED is designed to measure the energy spectrum, background flux, and fluctuations in the flux of protons and electrons in the upper ionosphere. This payload aims to verify the correlation between the increase in high-energy particle flux and seismic event precursors, potentially leading to the development of an earthquake warning system. Although support for this hypothesis exists, it remains unconfirmed.
Funding is needed for the construction of the IITMSAT Ground Station, located on the terrace of the Electrical Sciences Block (ESB) at the IITM campus. The ground station's primary function is to track the IITMSAT satellite during its orbit and collect crucial data.
THE IITM SCHOOL OF SUSTAINABILITY
IIT Madras has launched a School of Sustainability, which will boost the Institute's strong tradition of exemplary work in this area.
The School of Sustainability will teach new, interdisciplinary courses on sustainability, synergize research to tackle grand challenges and provide a platform to host events and showcase technologies that can help drive both practice and policy.
Conceptualized as a Centre of Excellence, it will bring together faculty members from across departments and research centres of the Institute Will offer wide ranging research and stakeholder engagement activities
1. Research oriented Policy Document Series : Includes topics on Net-zero buildings, Net-zero villages, Green Supply chains, Climate Finance and Investment etc. The School of Sustainability IITM is a Knowledge Partner of United Nations Global Compact Network India (UN GCNI) and will be part of their upcoming Regional Conventions
2. Industry-focused Events : Includes the Energy Summit, Carbon Zero Challenge etc. The Energy Summit is a flagship event by the IITM Energy Consortium that brings together stakeholders, experts, policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and professionals in the energy sector. Carbon Zero Challenge is an advocate of circularity, ceaselessly leading the charge in resource conservation
3. Community Engagement : World Sustainability Day A global and National level event observed annually on October 26 to raise awareness and promote sustainable practices and initiatives.
