Well, its been quite sme while since i came online, i was busy with whole lot of other stuff, project thingy, and sme geeky stuff to deal with,
Actually i took some time to get the pictures from Sarode;s Digicam.
Our HOD ( head of Dept ) ECE, Mr SS rao, took up the subject Satellite Communications when we were in 4-1, he had then promised us to take us to NRSA ( national Remote Image Sensing Agency), but Couldnt make the arrangement , as its difficult to get into NRSA, and Our College authories mostly concentrate on Education than Field Trips,
So, us being in 4th year we dont have many classes only during monday and tuesday, so attendence wasnt a factor for us. so it was decided that we would visit NRSA Shadabad on wednesday 12th March, So we were asked to assemble at the college Premisis at about 8 30am.
On Wednesday , i had givin my car , to my sibling as , i wouldnt be using it during the day, so i had khaja givin me a lift to College.
we were running late it was 9 30am. and all our class m8’s were makin calls n stuff, to say , that the teachers r starting, untill we saw our college Busses drive past us in the opposite direction!!, lol.
when they saw us they stopped the vehicle, and khaja had to park the vehicle some were nearby, and we got on the bus and started off.
the journey was a Fun riot. shouting , makin noise , tryin to disturb any one we could find.
they college ppl took us on a newer route to Shadanagar as the usual one was quite long and this new one would shave off 60km from the odometer.
we reached NRSA at about 12pm.
bieng this an national Research Agency, it was a Tight Security Facility and didnt allow any type of Electronic or Photographic Equipment. so No Cellphones, No camera’s ..etc.
We got in, it was quite pleasent and they got us thru an Cheeky Presentation , showing the details and activities performed by the agency.
this Agency was the Sole Reciever and controller of Satellites reguarding with Sensing and Imaging Type of Satellites.
the facitlity in balanagar is used to Process the data into viewable format, so the customer or the reciepient could use it.
we got to see live date being recieved from an Satellite and the guys at NRSA gave us and total tour of the facility, The Recieveing Dishes were really huge and were an Sight. but alas they didnt allow any cameras or Cellphones our we could have snapped some pictures of the facility.
We then started to college at 2:30.. Creating a Riot on the way aswell!!.
