  1. Indian Institute of Astrophysics a premier Institute for Research & Development in Astronomy & Astrophysics New Developments and Telescopes in Space UVIT ASTROSAT will be the first Indian space mission fully devoted to astronomy. It is a space-based multi-wavelength observatory working at hard and soft X-Rays, Ultra-Violet (UV) and visual wavelengths. A key payload of Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) was designed, fabricated, assembled and tested in MGK Menonlaboratory for Space Sciences, CREST campus of IIA, a unique clean room facility for integration and tests of space instrumentation. ISRO is scheduled to launch ASTROSAT in June 2013. ADITYA to study the SUN: IIA is leading a consortium that has proposed to build a 20 cm aperture, space based coronagraph to image the solar corona in various optical emission lines. The science goals of Aditya mission are: to detect the existence of waves in the solar corona, coronal plasma heating and nature of coronal loops. It is also aimed at studying the dynamics of Coronal Mass Ejections and their role in space weather. India-TMT Project:The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) will be one of the world’s most advanced ground-based optical, and infrared observatory. It will integrate the latest innovations in precision control, segmented mirror design, and adaptive optics. At the heart of the telescope is the mirror made up of 492 individual segments. Precisely aligned, these segments will work as a single reflective surface of 30m diameter. Department of Science and Technology, Government of India announced India’s decision to join the TMT project as an observer with a strong intention of becoming a full partner in due course of time. IIA along with ARIES and IUCAA is leading the Indian team towards full participation including development of key components in India.
