About

Hola fellow astronomer! I am Dhruv, a second year undergraduate student from the department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Indore. In astronomy, I study rocket science, basically its propulsion mechanism and engine design. And yes, its dynamics as well. Apart from that, I am also interested in theoretical physics and to an extent, the machine learning approach to astronomy. Well, the subject has got so much of interest and a lot more to explore.

Star Tracker

This project is based on specifying the exact position of star just by inputting in the current time.The project has basically two parts: designing and coding. Coding here was executed using an arduino sensor. The components were designed through softwares and then 3-D printed.

Rocket Designing

The goal was to simulate a virtual rocket and design a small one.





Galaxy Categorization

The aim of this project was basically to get the isophote of an elliptical galaxy and then classify it into one of the types of galaxies.
