Inspiring the Next Generation: Student Satellite Project Presented at Planning Commission, Pakistan.

 Dr. M. Kamran Saleem, Founder of the Space Research Center (SRC-UCP) and the principal investigator of the student satellite project funded by the Ministry of Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives, Pakistan, recently showcased significant progress in a presentation to Mr. S. R. Usmani, Director General Monitoring, Planning Commission of Pakistan. Dr. Awais Ahmed Khan, the Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) of the project, was also present during the presentation held and PPMI Head Office, Islamabad.

During the presentation, Dr. Kamran Saleem provided a comprehensive overview of the project’s objectives and achievements to date. The evaluation committee members expressed their appreciation for the innovative research and development work carried out at SRC-UCP. Following their review, the committee approved the release of the second tranche of funds, ensuring continued progress for the initiative.

The project focus on the design and development of student satellite kits tailored for school, college, and university-level students. These kits aim to:

Promote hands-on STEM education.

Foster interest in space technology.

Introduce students to CanSAT systems, enabling practical learning and experimentation.

By engaging students with real-world applications of engineering and satellite technology, the project aspires to inspire the next generation of innovators and scientists.

This initiative underscores SRC-UCP’s commitment to advancing space research and education in Pakistan. With strong support from government bodies and dedicated leadership, the project is poised to create a ripple effect, cultivating a culture of innovation and curiosity among students.
