Students from the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Alliance University, visited the Bengaluru Space Expo 2026 (BSX 2026) at BIEC, gaining practical exposure to current developments across the aerospace and space technology sectors. The visit introduced students to advancements in launch vehicles, satellite systems, propulsion, space communication, remote sensing, aerospace testing, and emerging technologies. It also helped them understand how concepts studied in the classroom are applied across real-world engineering environments. Students interacted with professionals from organizations across India’s growing space ecosystem, gaining insights into industry practices, career pathways, internships, and evolving technical requirements. These conversations offered a clearer view of the skills and competencies expected in the aerospace sector. A key highlight of the visit was an interaction with Capt. Sunita L. Williams, United States Navy (Ret.). Her experiences and reflections encouraged students to value perseverance, innovation, technical excellence, and continuous learning as they prepare for careers in aerospace and related fields. The visit provided a meaningful opportunity to connect academic learning with industry practice and helped students engage more closely with the rapidly evolving landscape of aerospace and space technology.
