Space Scientist - How to become a Space Scientist?
Space science is that branch of science that deals with the study of the Universe. Initially, the only science that dealt with space was Astronomy. Now there are various fields like Astrophysics, Galactic Science, Stellar Science, Space Colonization and Space Defense. Other important areas are GIS, Satellite Meteorology and Global Climate, Atmospheric Sciences, Satellite communication. The job of a space scientist is of challenging and exploratory nature. Astronauts, rocket scientists, meteorologists are all considered to be space scientists.
Prepare for exams
Students who want to become Space Scientist must develop an aptitude towards Physics and Mathematics subjects. He/ She must have a positive approach towards continuous learning and should expand his knowledge into branches like Optics, Magnetism and Electronics. There are many institutes that provide courses for Space Science and they often take up candidate only after entrance exam.
A space scientist aspirant must have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as a core subjects and must have secured excellent score in the board exam. Most of the reputed colleges offering engineering courses conducts entrance exams like IIST, JEE, AIEEE and BITSAT. The choice of aerospace or aeronautic engineering depends up on the rank secured by the candidate. A student can also take up M.Sc program from IISER (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research). This is a 5 year course which will also help to build up a career as a Space Scientist.
Institutions offering Space Science Courses
Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, situated in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala is managed by the ISRO. It offers under graduate and post graduate engineering courses and doctoral course in space science and aerospace engineering. It conducts an entrance exam to select its students. Other institutes that offer post graduate and doctoral courses in space science related courses like astro-physics and astronomy are IISC and IIAP, both situated in Bangalore. There are quite a few universities and institutions that offer courses for astronomy.
Some of them are:-
- BAMU University, Aurangabad.
- Madras University, Chennai.
- Birla Planetarium, Kolkata
- Raman Research Institute Bangalore.
- Inter University for Astronomy and Astrophysics Pune
- National Center for Radio Astronomy Pune.
Recruitment as a Scientist
Space scientists are usually hired by VSSC, ISRO and DRDO. These institutions recruit scientists at different grades. Fresh and bright engineers with a solid academic performance and high score in entrance exams are taken in at a trainee or lower grade level. Experienced graduates, post graduates and doctorates are hired at higher scientist grade levels. Space scientists have become popular ever since India launched our own space excavation programs and initiatives like Chandrayan, Agni and so on. A space scientist even became the President of India, which has inspired many bright young Indians to pursue a career as a space scientist.
