Space Research Center (SRC-UCP) Shines at NAMAL Tech Expo 2025

On April 14, 2025, a team of students and researchers from the Space Research Center (SRC-UCP) proudly represented the University of Central Punjab (UCP) at the NAMAL Tech Expo, held at NAMAL University, Mianwali. The event gathered participants from over 21 universities across Pakistan, offering a vibrant platform for young innovators, researchers, and academic leaders to showcase their cutting-edge projects.

Led by Dr. M. Kamran Saleem (Associate Professor, UCP), the SRC-UCP delegation presented a series of impressive student-built satellite models, including CanSAT, CubeSAT, and FloatSAT. These satellite models are part of ongoing student research and innovation at SRC-UCP, designed to simulate real-world space missions and provide hands-on experience in satellite technology and space systems engineering.

The UCP showcase attracted considerable attention, with visitors and participants from academic and research institutions showing great interest in the technological potential and ingenuity displayed. Many attendees were particularly impressed by the level of sophistication achieved by undergraduate students, and the initiative was widely praised as a benchmark for other institutions.

As part of the expo, the SRC-UCP team also delivered a brief yet insightful presentation to NAMAL University faculty members, highlighting ongoing research initiatives and future projects under development at UCP. This session sparked productive conversations and exchange of ideas, with both institutions identifying possible areas for collaboration and mutual benefit in the field of space and satellite technology.

Beyond the exhibition, the two-day visit offered valuable opportunities for academic networking and cross-institutional engagement. The hospitality extended by the NAMAL University team made the experience even more memorable. The UCP team would like to extend special thanks to Dr. Sajjad ur Rehman (Registrar, NAMAL University), as well as the esteemed faculty and staff, for their warm welcome, excellent arrangements, and generous support throughout the visit.

This successful participation marks another proud milestone for the Space Research Center at UCP, reaffirming its commitment to fostering innovation, research excellence, and meaningful collaboration within the academic community.
