An observatory functions as a hands-on laboratory for astronomy and space science, providing students with practical exposure to celestial observations and scientific inquiry. It serves as a learning hub where students can engage in real-time sky watching, conduct astronomical experiments, and develop a scientific temperament.
BRINGING RESEARCH TO CLASSROOM
Astronomy is an observational science; a lab cannot do justice to astronomy, and you cannot replicate a piece of the stars and phenomena of nebula and galaxies inside a lab.
The observatory is the house of the high-end telescope and imagining equipment is stored moisture-free inside it.
The observatory is the instrument involving students in experimentation and experiencing celestial phenomena through observation and analysis, such as the transit rotational speeds of planets, the inner planets studies, etc.
Observatories act as a high-end imaging and data storage center.
Interpretation Room (Warm Room) – The Heart of Observatory Operations
What is the Interpretation Room?
The Interpretation Room, also known as the Warm Room, is a critical space in any professional observatory. Designed for telescope operations, real-time image processing, and dome control, it acts as the central hub where astronomers, researchers, and students manage celestial observations in a controlled indoor environment.Equipped with 10 high-performance computers and a dedicated control room, this space enables precise coordination of observational activities. Researchers and operators can remotely control telescopes, capture high-resolution images, and analyze astronomical data without exposure to extreme outdoor conditions.
KEY FEATURES OF THE INTERPRETATION ROOM
🔭 Telescope & Dome Control
The Interpretation Room houses advanced control systems that allow seamless telescope positioning, dome rotation, and image acquisition. This ensures efficient astronomical observations while maintaining an optimal indoor setting for astronomers.
💻 High-Tech Research & Image Processing
With a state-of-the-art computing setup, astronomers and students can process astronomical data, conduct research, and analyze images in real time. The room is an essential part of observatory operations, bridging the gap between observation and data interpretation.
🔬 Humidity-Free Storage for Optics
To preserve delicate optical instruments, lenses, and mirrors, the Interpretation Room includes a specialized humidity-free storage area. This ensures that all precision optics remain in pristine condition, free from environmental degradation.
🎓 Educational & Exploratory Space
Beyond its technical capabilities, the Interpretation Room doubles as an interactive learning space. It features:
Self-exploratory models and interactive displays that help students understand astronomical concepts.
A classroom setup where daily briefings, discussions, and research grading take place.
Workshops and training sessions to engage students, enthusiasts, and researchers in hands-on learning.
Why is the Interpretation Room Important?
This multifunctional space integrates astronomy, education, and research, making it an essential part of any world-class observatory. Whether it’s controlling telescopes, processing images, storing optics, or educating the next generation of astronomers, the Interpretation Room plays a pivotal role in advancing astronomical research and education.By providing a comfortable and technology-driven environment, it ensures that astronomers and students can focus on exploration and discovery without external distractions, making it an indispensable asset for observatory operations.

Dual-Mode Operation:
The dome can be opened in two innovative ways. It functions as a slit-based observatory for targeted observations and as a rolling roof observatory where an opening section reveals an expansive view of up to 260° of the sky. This versatility provides both focused and panoramic stargazing experiences.
Optimized for Education & Research:
Developed with school and research environments in mind, SPACE Dome is engineered to accommodate large groups. Its design facilitates collaborative learning and research, making astronomy accessible and engaging for students and educators alike.
Intellectual Property & Patent Pending:
This pioneering design is our exclusive intellectual property and is currently patent pending in India. It represents a strategic innovation that not only enhances observational capabilities but also sets a new benchmark in educational and research infrastructure.
SPACE Dome is more than an observatory—it’s a gateway to exploring the cosmos, designed to inspire curiosity and foster scientific inquiry among future generations.
The Astronomy Club runs for a year in the school. 24 sessions in Module 1 (Beginners Level) and 26 sessions in Module 2 (Intermediate Level) are covered in 10 visits over 12 months.
