The Tests were conducted at U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), Bengaluru between 31st Jan to 2nd Feb 2023.



EMI/EMC Testing is carried out for satellite missions to ensure the functionality of the satellite sub-systems and their compatibility with the expected electromagnetic levels in the space environment.
