Physical attendance of staff limited, visitors banned on premises
The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kerala has prompted units of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the State capital to ramp up safety measures. In line with the Central government guidelines, physical attendance at the office has been limited to staff of the rank of deputy secretary and above. Meetings were fully shifted to virtual mode from Monday. Thiruvananthapuram is home to three major units of the space agency — Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) at Thumba, Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) at Valiyamala, and the ISRO Inertial Systems Unit (IISU) at Vattiyurkavu. The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) is also situated in the district.
