Space Application Center, Research institution in Ahmedabad, India.
The Space Applications Centre operates as a specialized research institution under ISRO, developing satellite communication systems, meteorological services, and Earth observation technologies across multiple campuses in Ahmedabad and Delhi.
Established on October 25, 1972, SAC emerged as a cornerstone of India's space program, focusing on practical applications of space technology and contributing to the development of INSAT satellites for telecommunications and weather forecasting services.
The center collaborates with the National Institute of Design in Gujarat since the early 1970s, promoting design excellence alongside technological development through joint projects including railway coach and station innovations that blend aesthetics with functionality.
SAC offers guided tours and educational programs for students and researchers, particularly through training initiatives with the Center for Space Science and Technology Education in Asia and the Pacific to build regional expertise in space science.
The center successfully demonstrated quantum communication technology over 300 meters between buildings through live video conferencing, marking a significant milestone in the Quantum Experiments using Satellite Technology project for secure space-based communications.
