'Aryabhata' Astronomical Observatory
COMSOL SolidWorks CNC Manufacturing Vibration Analysis CAD Seismic Isolation

Overview
Successfully designed and integrated a complex system including two telescopes, a computer-controlled mount, and a dome to enable astronomical research for over 2000 undergraduate engineering students.
Development Process




Final Result
The completed observatory features a fully automated dome control system, integrated telescope mount, and seismic isolation structures. The system achieves sub-arcsecond pointing accuracy and enables both visual and astrophotography observations.

Collaborators
