Research forms a significant part of the goals envisaged for this premier and unique institute. The main aim is to seamlessly integrate research and development with academics and encourage faculty members to carry on research in their respective areas of interest. Research in IIST is built on the foundations of various academic programmes run by the Departments of Aerospace, Avionics, Chemistry, Earth and Space Sciences, Humanities, Mathematics and Physics. The major theme of our research portfolio is the application of cutting - edge science to generate new technology. The Institute recognizes the importance of research in developing future technologies and applications of space research. IIST encourages all its faculty members to guide and supervise young scholars under the PhD programme as well as for Post-Doctoral programmes. IIST envisages to be a global leader in the areas of science and technology related to the space sector in the days to come by building capacity in terms of infrastructure and human capital.

The research at IIST is carried out in the spheres of theory and experiments. The institute is setting up state-of-the-art facilities in all departments to bolster the cutting-edge research activities. The focus of the Institute is on strong interdisciplinary and collaborative work both within the departments as well as across the various centres of ISRO. This will enable the generation of technologies by responding to the needs of local, national and global interest. IIST has also been instrumental in exploring research collaborations and exchange of scientific ideas with international academic and research organizations. This includes international collaborations, both as Memorandum-of-Understanding (MOU) at the Institute-level as well as at an individual level of faculty-to-faculty collaboration.
