New Delhi: Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Chairman S. Somnath, who is also Secretary, Department of Space, on Friday virtually launched a month-long satellite data analysis program for Bhutanese officials.
Indian Ambassador to Bhutan Ruchira Kamboj and other officials were also present.
The training program, being held in Ahmedabad, brings together 21 Bhutanese officials, researchers, and space scientists from seven government departments to boost the in-house capacity of the Himalayan country to receive, process, and analyze remote sensing data from INS-2TD, a technology demonstrator satellite launched on February 14 this year.
It will also prepare the participants to handle data from the India-Bhutan joint satellite to be launched later this year.
