Research Areas and Role of Interns

Selected interns will be assigned to various divisions based on their academic disciplines. Potential areas of work cover aerospace engineering, mechanical systems, electronics, materials science, computer science, and other related fields pertaining to launch vehicle and space technology development. Interns will work under the guidance of experienced scientists and engineers, contributing to ongoing research and development projects. They will also be involved in technical discussions, laboratory activities, and are expected to prepare project reports as required by both VSSC and their respective parent institutions. This internship provides firsthand exposure to India’s space missions and advanced engineering systems.

Institutional Guidelines and Confidentiality

While the internship is primarily focused on academic enrichment, candidates must strictly observe all institutional rules and confidentiality agreements during their tenure.
