The most comprehensive guide to launching your aerospace career. Learn ANSYS Fluent, SolidWorks, OpenFOAM, RASAero, CATIA & more — fully online, from any city in India or internationally.
A career-defining edge for every B.Tech, M.Tech, and Diploma engineering student
The Indian aerospace sector is growing at an unprecedented pace — with investments from ISRO, HAL, BEL, DRDO, and over 350 private aerospace startups registered under the Indian Space Policy 2023. The demand for trained aerospace engineers — skilled in CFD simulation, structural analysis (FEA), UAV design, rocket propulsion, and drone systems — has never been higher.
Yet most engineering colleges in India have limited access to industry-grade aerospace software, live project exposure, or research mentorship. That gap is exactly what MARS Exploration Pvt. Ltd fills — a fully online, UGC–AICTE Credit-Based Aerospace Internship that delivers practical training using professional tools like ANSYS Fluent, SolidWorks, CATIA, OpenFOAM, OpenRocket, RASAero, and MATLAB/Simulink, along with one-to-one mentorship from industry professionals.
Whether you're a first-year student exploring aerospace, a final-year student seeking a project, or an M.Tech student working toward a research publication — this internship is designed to be the most impactful credential on your resume.
Academic Credit Note: This internship is conducted in accordance with UGC–AICTE Internship & Apprenticeship Guidelines (2021). Credits are awarded upon successful completion and are subject to individual college/university acceptance for academic credit transfer. MARS Exploration provides all required documentation.

Work from home. All you need is a laptop, an internet connection, and the enthusiasm to learn aerospace engineering. No travel, no relocation, no campus restrictions.
Real experiences from engineering students across India
The CFD internship at MARS Exploration was a turning point in my career. I went from knowing nothing about ANSYS to running full 3D simulations on airfoils. The mentors are genuinely passionate about aerospace. I got a 6-credit certificate accepted by my university and a strong LOR for my MS applications abroad.
I was preparing for ISRO interviews and needed hands-on rocket experience. The Rocket Design internship gave me exactly that — OpenRocket, RASAero, trajectory analysis. The LOR helped my resume stand out. The fee is extremely reasonable for the quality of training.
As a mechanical engineering student from Pune, I wasn't sure if aerospace was accessible to me. MARS Exploration proved it absolutely is. I completed the UAV Design internship, got 4 credits accepted by my college, and the project experience helped me land a drone startup internship after graduation.
MARS Exploration is not just another online course provider. It is a formally certified and government-registered aerospace training organization:
The AS 9001 D certification is an aerospace-specific quality management standard — the same standard used by Boeing, Airbus, and ISRO vendors. An LOR from an AS 9001 D Certified organization carries significant weight in global higher education applications.
Everything you need to know before applying
The CFD internship covers ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS Meshing, OpenFOAM, ICEM CFD, CFD-Post, and ParaView. Students also learn mesh generation, turbulence modelling (k-ε, k-ω SST), heat transfer simulation, and basic Python scripting for post-processing. All topics include hands-on simulation exercises.
The Rocket Design internship uses OpenRocket, RASAero II, NASA CEA (for propulsion thermodynamics), MATLAB/Simulink for trajectory simulation, SolidWorks or CATIA for 3D CAD modelling, and Microsoft Missile DATCOM for aerodynamic coefficient estimation.
The internship is conducted in alignment with UGC–AICTE Internship and Apprenticeship Guidelines (2021). MARS Exploration provides all required documentation — Offer Letter, Completion Certificate, and UGC–AICTE Credit Certificate. Whether your institution grants academic credit transfer depends on your college/university's internal policy. We recommend checking with your academic office before enrollment and we assist with the documentation process.
Yes — 100%. The internship is entirely online and work-from-home. Students from Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Delhi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and every other city in India — as well as international students — can participate without any relocation. All you need is a laptop and internet connection.
Yes. ISRO and DRDO internships are extremely competitive (thousands of applicants for a few hundred seats) and require physical presence. MARS Exploration's program is online, accessible, UGC-AICTE credit-linked, and includes career support not offered by ISRO or DRDO programs. Many students apply to both — the skills and LOR from MARS Exploration actually strengthen your ISRO/DRDO applications.
Yes. MARS Exploration provides comprehensive research paper writing and publication support for 12-week (6-credit) interns. Students receive mentorship on paper structure, literature review, methodology, and results presentation — and guidance for submission to Scopus-indexed, UGC-approved, or peer-reviewed international journals and conferences.
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) focuses on fluid flow, aerodynamics, and heat transfer simulation using ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM. FEA (Finite Element Analysis) focuses on structural integrity, stress, fatigue, and deformation analysis using ANSYS Mechanical and SolidWorks Simulation. Both are critical aerospace engineering disciplines and are offered as separate 12-week tracks.
Yes. MARS Exploration accepts final-year academic project submissions within the internship framework, particularly for 12-week interns. You can align your major project topic with the internship domain and receive mentorship, evaluation, and documentation support — including a project report compliant with university requirements.
MARS Exploration's aerospace internship is a training and credit-based program and does not include a monetary stipend. The value is in academic credits (4 or 6), career credentials (LOR from AS 9001 D Certified org), project experience, research publication support, and career guidance — all for a program fee of just ₹1,999 or ₹2,999.
A Letter of Recommendation from an AS 9001 D Certified aerospace organization — the same standard used in global aerospace supply chains — is a recognized credential for international MS applications. Over 3,300 LORs have been issued to students who have used them for applications to universities in the USA, Germany, UK, Canada, Australia, and other countries.
Graduates go on to roles like CFD Analyst, FEA/Structural Engineer, Rocket Design Engineer, Propulsion Engineer, UAV Design Engineer, Drone Systems Engineer, and Aerospace R&D Engineer at organizations like ISRO, HAL, DRDO, BEL, Boeing India, Airbus India, L&T Aerospace, TATA Advanced Systems, and leading Indian aerospace startups.
