हाम्रो मुलुक अन्तरिक्ष विज्ञानको क्षेत्रमा भर्खरै बामे सर्दैछ । यस्तो अवस्थामा, चितवनका दुइटा सामान्य स्कुलका विद्यार्थीहरुले न्यानो–स्याटेलाइट बनाएका छन् । फेरि यो काममा सिमान्तकृत चेपाङ समुदायका ती बालबालिका संलग्न छन्, जो परिवारमै स्कुल जाने पहिलो पुस्ताका विद्यार्थीहरु हुन् ।

उनीहरु चप्पल लगाएर उपग्रह बनाउने अवस्थामा पुगेकाले यो स्याटेलाइटको नाम ‘स्लिपर्स टु स्याट’ राखिएको छ । यसलाई गत मंसिर २४ गते चीनको स्पेश स्टेशनबाट प्रक्षेपण गरिएको थियो । अहिले यो पृथ्वीको सतहबाट करिब ५५० किलोमिटर माथि अन्तरीक्षमा उडिरहेको छ ।

यो स्याटेलाइट पृथ्वीको परिक्रमा लगाउँदै दिनमा दुईचोटी नेपाली आकाशमा आइपुग्छ । त्यसबेला विद्यार्थीहरु यसको तरंग समात्न ल्याबको कम्प्युटरमा झुम्मिन्छन् ।

यो सब देख्दा, विज्ञान आफैंमा त्यति जटिल कुरा पनि होइन भन्ने लाग्छ । यसका निम्ति महंगो स्कुल र अत्याधुनिक ल्याब नै चाहिन्छ भन्ने पनि रहेनछ । समाजमा निकै पछाडि परेका बालबालिकालाई पनि राम्ररी सिकायो र अवसर दियो भने उल्लेखनीय काम गर्नसक्दा रहेछन् ।

‘स्लिपर्स टु स्याट’को सफलताले यो देखाएको छ । यो कसरी सम्भव भयो ?
हामीले यो भिडियोमा उनीहरुको यही सफलता–यात्रा समेटेका छौं : https://t.co/u5WdVJfCiP

The imagery from Sentinel show a clear reduction in snow cover from June to July. Much of the snow accumulation from May–June appears to have melted by July. While these patterns suggest a potential link between flood and the melt, further investigation is needed.

#WATCH | Delhi: Antarikchya Pratishan Nepal (APN) Founder Dr. Abhas Maskey says, "... We had already shown through Nepali SAT-1 that university students can build satellites. Now, we have gone a step further and we have shown that government high school students of Nepal can also build satellites... A lot of collaboration, help and support was needed and we would like to thank all the parties from Nepal and India for supporting us and being there right on time to launch this satellite..."

The #Slippers2Sat Team has successfully completed the Super Short Range Test (SSRT) and Short Range Test (SRT) of the S2S satellite.

The team successfully exchanged telemetry data from the Engineering Model (EM) of S2S to NAST Ground Station.

[Antarikchya @antarikchya]

The Slippers2Sat Team successfully completed the Project's #PreliminaryDesignReview on 28th June, 2024. With 30+ virtual and physical participants, the team went through the initial design of the #SatelliteSystems.

The team will now work towards developing the EM for S2S.
