Located in the BM Birla Science Centre in Hyderabad, the museum is the result of a collaboration between the Science Centre with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Opened in 2019, on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Birla Archaeological and Cultural Research Institute, the museum occupies about 9000 square feet of the Science Museum building. The collection includes around 65 models of various spacecrafts, satellites and rockets donated by ISRO. These include models of Mangalyaan, the GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) and the PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) rockets. There is also a section on images sent back by various remote sensing satellites. An interesting element is the facility to get in touch with India’s Antarctic scientific base station (Dakshin Gangotri) in real time. [1]
