About Us

The primary focus of our section is to understand the formation and evolution of the various planetary bodies of our solar system using data from planetary remote sensing missions of ISRO, other space agencies, and ground-based observations. Currently, we are studying the Moon using data from Chandrayaan-1, 2 & 3 (ISRO), Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO, NASA), Kaguya (JAXA), and telescopic observations from PRL’s Mt. Abu observatory. Intricacies of the Red Planet, Mars, are being unfolded utilizing data from Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM, ISRO), Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO, NASA), Mars Global Surveyor (MGS, NASA), Mars Express (ESA), and Mars Odyssey (NASA). Specifically, our motivation is to understand planetary processes, viz. impact cratering, volcanism, tectonism, space weathering, glacial, fluvial, hydrogeology, and mass wasting by studying topography, geomorphology, mineralogy/lithology, subsurface structures, and crater chronology. Besides these planetary bodies, the studies have implications for our understanding of the Earth, for which most of the evidences from its geological past are lost due to its dynamic nature.

We are also involved in landing site characterization for future in-situ and sample return missions of ISRO (Chandrayaan-4, ISRO-JAXA LuPEX, Mars Landing Mission). We have developed a state-of-the-art laboratory for reflectance spectroscopy of planetary materials and their terrestrial analogs under simulated conditions to support the satellite-based observations. These studies play a vital role in payload characterization and assist in analyzing data from future planetary missions as well as ground-based observations.

We are also actively looking for students, who are highly motivated towards Planetary Sciences, to join our team. For queries, please contact the PRSS team.

Facilities




Data Analysis

Detailed analysis of Planetary Remote Sensing Datasets from various missions and interpretation of results.

Planetary Remote Sensing Laboratory

Reflectance Spectroscopy of Planetary Materials and their Terrestrial Analogues in the spectral range (350-2500 nm) under simulated conditions.

Terrestrial Analogues

Field investigation of gullies, gully fans, levees, and other debris-flow deposits in Ladakh Himalaya to understand the past and recent water flow activity on Mars. These features in Ladakh are a potential Martian analogue.
