Industrial Visit
The ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) is committed to encouraging students and creating awareness of space technology and its real-world applications. By opening our doors to the academic community, we aim to inspire the future workforce that will lead the nation’s prestigious space agency in both technical and administrative areas. We invite educational institutions to witness first-hand the engineering excellence that serves as the "propulsion backbone" of India’s space odyssey.

IPRC Facilities
A visit to the IPRC campus provides a rare glimpse into a world-class "centre of excellence" spanning nearly 6,400 acres of undulating terrain. Students will be introduced to the sophisticated infrastructure required for the assembly, integration, and testing of high-thrust engines. An overview of the massive test stands and static fire facilities—where propulsion systems are validated against the most demanding operational environments.

Visit Guidelines and Eligibility
To ensure a productive and safe experience within our strategic complex, the following guidelines must be observed:
• Eligibility: Industrial visits are open to students from Class 8 and above.
• Group Requirements: Students must visit in a batch through their respective school or college only. It is mandatory for each batch to be accompanied by their official staff members.
• Permission: Entry into the IPRC Campus is strictly subject to prior approval and the security protocols of the Department of Space.

Space Museum Visit
The Space Museum at IPRC offers an immersive journey through the history and evolution of Indian rocketry. Visitors can explore the technical progression of liquid propulsion, from the early developmental stages of the Vikas engine to the advanced cryogenic technologies powering the LVM3. The museum showcases a curated collection of space hardware, including crew modules, PS4 stages, and various engine components used in major national missions. This exhibit serves as a visual testament to IPRC's "zero-defect" culture and its pivotal role in the success of the Chandrayaan and Gaganyaan programmes.
