My Preparation Guidelines
As per the notification from ISRO, the students of class 4-8 will be asked to make model on one of the thing given in the syllabus. On the day of competition email will be sent on registered email id. The maximum permitted size of model will be 50 x 50 x 50 cm. Students can be use cardboard, paper, clothes, adhesive tapes, colours & gums only. However use of thermocol is not to be permitted.

As subject of model making will be given from revised syllabus, it will be good idea to understand the syllabus and related information. Students can practice model making based on gathered information and try making all the models given in the syllabus. This will enable student to be ready for competition day. Therefore, in this section I am providing information on each subject given in the syllabus.

Space Science Craft Ideas from NASA 


Indian Spacecraft

A spacecraft is a vehicle or machine designed to fly in outer space. It can carry people and goods beyond the Earth's atmosphere, through space to other planets, space stations, or orbits and back home again. Spacecraft are launched from earth with the help of launch vehicles and place of launch is called launch pads. India has launched several spacecrafts. Click the link below to know spacecrafts launched by ISRO.

Indian Launch Vehicles

Launchers or Launch Vehicles are used to carry spacecraft to space. India has two operational launchers: Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). In past, ISRO has used SLV and ASLV launch vehicles. ISRO has planned RLV and Scramjet Engine for future.

Space Station

A space station, also known as an orbital station or an orbital space station, is a spacecraft capable of supporting a human crew in orbit for an extended period of time that lacks major propulsion or landing systems. Stations must have docking ports to allow other spacecraft to dock to transfer crew and supplies. As of 2020, one fully operational and permanently inhabited space station is in low Earth orbit: the International Space Station (ISS), which is used to study the effects of long-term space flight on the human body as well as to provide a location to conduct a greater number and length of scientific studies than is possible on other space vehicles. China, India, Russia, and the U.S., as well as Bigelow Aerospace and Axiom Space, are all planning other stations for the coming decades. You can read about ISS on NASA website.

Rover on Moon

Moon rover (also known as Lunar Rover) is a space exploration vehicle designed to move across the surface of the Moon. The Apollo Program's Lunar Roving Vehicle was driven on the Moon by members of three American crews. Other rovers have been partially or fully autonomous robots, such as the Soviet Union's Lunokhods and the Chinese Yutus. Three countries have had operating rovers on the Moon: the Soviet Union, the United States and China. Indian's Chandrayan-2 had Pragyan Rover on Vikram Lander. However, Vikram lander didn't land successfully on Moon.

Launchpad for Rockets

A launch pad is an above-ground facility from which a rocket-powered missile or space vehicle is vertically launched. The term launch pad can be used to describe just the central launch platform (Mobile launcher platform), or the entire complex (launch complex). The entire complex will include a launch mount or launch platform to physically support the vehicle, a service structure with umbilicals, and the infrastructure required to provide propellants, cryogenic fluids, electrical power, communications, telemetry, rocket assembly, payload processing, storage facilities for propellants and gases, equipment, access roads, and drainage.
