Held in the technological centre of Hyderabad (also known as Cyberabad among the locals), this year’s International Astronautical Congress was a grand affair showcasing Indian culture and space technology alike.

Again greatly aided by our highly motivated marketing and management team, we proceeded to familiarize ourselves with the professionals of the space industry as well as fellow students from around the world. Our paper was presented in a packed technical session, and seemed to be well received by the attendees, who asked several good questions. We also further boosted our numbers by recruiting several new student members.
