WESAT, First Indian Satellite created by Women All Set for Launch
By: WE Staff | Wednesday, 6 December 2023
WESAT, India's first satellite designed entirely by women, is all set to send in the space. 42 outstanding female students from the LBS Centre for Science and Technology are working on a ground-breaking project that will investigate the effects of atmospheric UV radiation on climate change. It is anticipated that the satellite will launch shortly from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh's Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
The entire team of students at Thiruvananthapuram Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Technology for Women have developed and constructed the nanosatellite known as WESAT (Women Engineered Satellite). The university's Space Club introduced the project, which aims to investigate UV radiation's effects on Kerala's warm temperatures and climate change phenomena.
The project represents a significant turning point in India's space program and demonstrates the nation's dedication to women's empowerment and gender equality. The satellite is the first of its kind in India which was designed and constructed entirely by female students. The project is an exceptional example of how women can achieve success in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields and contribute significantly to society.
