AzaadiSAT satellite mission was launched by ISRO with the ambitious vision to encourage Government school children (from economically weak backgrounds) with the basic understanding and knowledge of space and tutor them to build a small experiment and launch it to the edge of space through “Orbital Satellite”.Space Kidz India has developed basic and simple experiments that students can learn and assemble with the simultaneous support of their science teachers and SKI team’s online coaching.From 75 Government schools for Girls across India, two girl students from Govt Girls Higher Secondary School, Saloora were given this opportunity. The selected students were from classes 11th & 12th. This is a 1st of its kind Space mission with an ‘All women concept’ to promote Women empowerment.The girls made a fan motor and a circuit which was further used in one of the 75 payloads which was carried by AzaadiSAT-2 satellite which was launched by ISRO from Sriharikota on 10 Feb 23 via SSLV-D2 rocket.The company commander interacted with the student participants and felicitated them for their hardwork and dedication. Also their parent’s efforts and relentless guidance to their children were appreciated which carved a niche by setting up a benchmark for others to emulate. The student participants were also told to guide and motivate others on the same path.The parents appreciated the warm gesture of Army’s 24RR and expressed their gratitude for Army’s continued support and help to the youth. The Interaction was highly effective and fruitful.
