Chethan Kumar writes in Parallax: Why IISc should be Isro’s JPL
Chethan Kumar argues that the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) should emulate NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for its collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro). This partnership has focused on spacecraft technology and space microbial research, and a JPL-like model could enhance IISc's contributions to Isro's missions, fostering a robust research framework over time.
