From Chandrayaan-3 to ThaparSat: How Students Are Building Their Own Satellite | Dr. Mamta Gulati
India celebrates National Space Day on August 23 to commemorate the historic Chandrayaan-3 landing near the Moon’s south pole.
India’s space journey, particularly over the last decade, has inspired a new generation to move beyond simply watching space missions — and start building them. At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, students are turning that inspiration into action by developing their own satellite, ThaparSat.
In this exclusive conversation with Life & More, Dr. Mamta Gulati, Project Coordinator of the ThaparSat programme, talks about the vision behind the project, how students are contributing to satellite development, the learning involved, and what ThaparSat means for the future of India’s young space innovators. 🎙️ Watch the full conversation and discover how the next generation is preparing to take India’s space story forward.
