What is Remote Sensing?
Remote sensing is the science of gathering information about objects or areas without physically being there. In space exploration, it involves using satellites and other instruments to collect data about planets, stars, and other celestial bodies.

During this event, you can expect:
- Learn about cutting-edge remote sensing tools and techniques used for space exploration.
- Gain insights from a distinguished ISRO scientist.
- Explore the wonders of space through remote sensing.
- Certificates: Get certificate that you can use to avail MAR points.

This is a great opportunity to learn about a fascinating field and hear from an expert at ISRO.

Secure your spot now for an unforgettable journey among the stars! 🛰️
