Space stations and related technologies play a captious relation successful engineering education, research, and exploration, said salient idiosyncratic and erstwhile Director of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre Srihari Kota Range (SDSC-SHAR) Padma Shri M.Y. S. Prasad.
Delivering a lecture connected “Space Stations and Space Life” astatine Gudlavalleru Engineering College connected Thursday (November 06, 2025), Dr. Prasad explained to the last twelvemonth engineering students astir the antithetic orbits like Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and however they service antithetic purposes, from Earth reflection to navigation and communication.
He said quality spaceflight involves stages similar launch, reaching orbit, performing missions, and re-entry. Space stations are semipermanent orbiting laboratories built modularly successful orbit, requiring analyzable operation and a dedicated power centre for ngo management, helium added.
Using abbreviated illustrative videos, helium vividly demonstrated the analyzable method aspects down the plan and improvement of the International Space Station (ISS). He besides elaborated connected however astronauts execute captious repair spacewalks done extended mentation and strict adherence to information protocols, relying connected self-contained beingness enactment systems wrong their suits. On the International Space Station (ISS), helium said, regular beingness involves a highly structured regular wrong habitation modules, with blase systems managing food, water, and oxygen successful a closed-loop environment.
College Principal B. Karuna Kumar, Director P. Siddayya, Management Advisor P. Ravindrababu, Vice Principal (Academics) M.R.C.H. Sastry, Director, PG and CRD G.V.S.N.R.V. Prasad, Director, ASA M. Kamaraju and convenors M. Baburao and N. Rajeshwari were present.
