摘要：
Satellite Instructional Television Experiment (SITE) was an experiment rooted in the philosophy of Nehruvian socialist science, Vikram Sarabhai's leapfrogging vision, and the Indian scientific community's dedication to the development of the county. It was designed and executed for educating and connecting the people of the country. Yash Pal, the figure of modern scientific education in India, played a crucial role to realize this dream project. Though SITE was not entirely successful in fulfilling its role, it did lay foundations for a bigger space science objective for education. In this essay, I explore the progress of socialist science and its impact on major scientific developmental projects through the SITE. It also takes into account several oral history anecdotes from the interactions I had with Yash Pal and his colleagues over several years.
