Happy “AzaadiSAT-2” 1st anniversary. A satellite built by 750 girl students from 75 government schools across India.


AzaadiSAT was created to mark India’s 75th year of independence. This anniversary was being marked by the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations https://amritmahotsav.nic.in<https://amritmahotsav.nic.in/> throughout the country, and the CubeSat was part of this campaign. AzaadiSAT was built by girl students from 75 schools across India. 10 girl students from each school were involved, for a total of 750 students involved. The mission was created to give girl students from lower-income backgrounds the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of spaceflight.
