Universe is huge! Let us put it to a scale that we are familiar with.

Hello Everyone✨

Are you ready for the launch of SanoSat-I?🛰️🚀

Join SEDS Nepal to watch SanoSat-I launch live along with ORION Space 🛰️🚀

SANOSAT-1 [NEPAL-PQ1] is a first pico-satellite made by Nepali students and Engineers in Nepal. It is a pico-satellite based on the PocketQube form factor. The primary payload of SANOSAT-1 is a radiation sensor which measures the space radiation. SanoSat-1 will also act as a digital amateur radio repeater and operators will be able to upload a message to the satellite and it will transmit it to the ground on the successful reception of the packets.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope being jointly developed by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

Unlike the Hubble telescope, which observes in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared (0.1 to 1 μm) spectra, JWST will observe in a lower frequency range, from long-wavelength visible light through mid-infrared (0.6 to 28.3 μm), which will allow it to observe high redshift objects that are too old and too distant for Hubble to observe.

💡Interesting Fact:
Enceladus is the most reflective body in the solar system and the sixth largest moon of Saturn.

Ever thought of this?😀

On the auspicious occasion of Teacher's Day, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the hardworking teachers who spend their time, energy and love to lighten the world with wisdom. Happy Teacher's Day!

Do Participate!!!

Ever wanted to go to space?
Well, you're in luck cause Virgin Galactic has started commercial space travel... Wait a minute this isn't Virgin Galactic and you don't have 250,000$.
There there, don't be sad now.
Even though you may not be able to go to space right now, YOUR design of the Mission patch can be a fresh start for you to get into it. In our recent project of High Altitude Balloon, we need your help to create a fabulous design for our mission patch. Also if you win, along with the monetary award, you shall get back your mission patch after it comes back 🤯, A Souvenir, if you will. So read the design guidelines here

and get started on that design and fill this form after you finish it.

A key moment in making space travel available to the public.

Something BIG is coming soon!

NESRA Nepalese Space Research Association, SEDS-Nepal, and Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics Nepal are partnering to build a strong foundation of aerospace in Nepal.

Stay tuned for our grand announcement!

It turns out the clouds of Venus aren't made of the right stuff to support life — so now, scientists are turning to Jupiter instead.

Scientists may have ruled out alien life on Venus, but Jupiter still holds promise.

Studying probes that visited other planets, researchers found that Jupiter's clouds have a high enough concentration of water, and a viable temperature, for life to exist — assuming other requirements, like nutrients, are also present.

Hellish temperatures on the surface of Venus can reach nearly 900 degrees Fahrenheit — creating a less-than-hospitable planet. But a study last year renewed hopes that Venus could support life after researchers detected phosphine gas, which is produced by bacteria on Earth, in its more temperate clouds.

Now, a new study published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, found that the water concentration in our nearest neighbor's infamous sulphuric acid clouds is just too dry for life as we know it to find a way to survive.
