The Ghana Space Science and Technology Centre (GSSTC) was opened officially on 2 May 2012 as Ghana’s first space science, space exploration, astronomy and technology space agency.  GSSTC and Ghana Space Agency (GhSA) aims to become an arena of excellence in space science, space exploration and space technology through teaching, learning, private spaceflight and space research commercialisation.  The centre and space agency will also allow scientists and astronauts to conduct research into natural resource management, weather forecasting, agriculture and national security. Koppillil Radhakrishnan (born 29 August 1949) is an Indian scientist.  He is chairman of the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, having taken the position in December 2014, and is chairman for the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology.  Radhakrishnan previously served as chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) between 2009 and 2014.  He is a life fellow of the Indian Geophysical Union and is also an accomplished vocalist (Carnatic music) and Kathakali artist. Gautam Biswas (Bengali: গৌতম বিশ্বাস ; born 23 May 1956) is a distinguished professor and the director of Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati.  As a faculty member of the IIT Kanpur, he served the Institute in various capacities including the Dean of Academic Affairs.  Prof Gautam Biswas is a Fellow of the three science academies, such as, the Indian National Science Academy (INSA, New Delhi), the Indian Academy of Sciences (IAS, Bangalore) and the National Academy of Sciences India (NASI, Allahabad).  He is a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) and Institution of Engineers (IEI).  He was the occupant of the position of GD and VM Mehta Endowed Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur.  A Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Prof Biswas is the author of more than 150 scientific publications and guided 17 PhD theses.  In the year 2011, he was awarded the esteemed J C Bose National Fellowship by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.  Biswas completed his Baccalaureate from University of Calcutta (IIEST, Shibpur) in 1979.  He completed his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 1985.  He was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany and JSPS Invitation Fellow at the Yokohama National University, Japan.  He has been a Guest Professor at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany.  Gautam Biswas has made original contributions of long lasting value in the areas of heat transfer and fluid mechanics.  His work on enhancement of heat transfer using delta-winglet type vortex generators is a major contribution which is included in the advanced international text books.  The innovative concept has been used by the Industry for various HAVC systems.  Furthermore, he has contributed significantly in understanding the bluff body flows.  His work on large-eddy simulation of flow past bluff bodies and heat transfer in impinging jets have been deeply admired by the scientific community.  Contributions of Prof. Biswas pertaining to handling free surface flows and some of his investigations related to prediction of bubble growth in film boiling are considered to be path breaking.  Prof. Biswas and co-researchers analyzed impact of falling drops on a liquid surface and made fundamental contributions to the body of knowledge related to partial coalescence and the transition between coalescence and splashing.  Experimental evidence of large bubble entrapment occurring outside the traditional small region on the V-D map, made the boundary of large bubble entrapment a topic of greater importance.  A seminal contribution of his group probes the zone of large bubble entrapment and underlying physics. .  He has made significant impact through his publications on formation of air bubbles from a submerged orifice. Kankar Shubra Dasgupta is an Indian scientist and academic who works in the field of image processing and satellite communications (SATCOM).

Dasgupta also served as the Deputy Director, Space Applications Centre, Ahmedabad and the Director of the Development and Educational Communication Unit of Indian Space Research Organisation. The National Space Science Data Center serves as the permanent archive for NASA space science mission data. " Space science" pertains to astronomy and astrophysics, solar and space plasma physics, and planetary and lunar science.  As the permanent archive, NSSDC teams with NASA's discipline-specific space science "active archives" which provide access to data to researchers and, in some cases, to the general public.  NSSDC also serves as NASA's permanent archive for space physics mission data.  It provides access to several geophysical models and to data from some non-NASA mission data.
