The satellite built by Chepang students is set to be launched from China on Wednesday. The satellite, built under the 'Slippers to SAT' mission, is set to be launched. It will be launched from the Qiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Inner Mongolia, China, using a Kinetica One rocket, informed Abhash Maskey of the Nepal Space Institute.

The satellite mission manager, Engineer Rishabh Adhikari, informed that the launch will be at 8:45 am Nepali time. This is the first satellite built in Nepal. This satellite is a cube satellite. Students studying in grades 7 and 8 of the Chepang community were involved in the construction of the satellite. The mission has been launched with the theme of 'Slipper to Satellite', i.e. the journey of people from a community who struggle to buy and wear a pair of slippers to the construction of a satellite. This satellite, designed in Nepal, is a 'satellite bus' system developed at the initiative of the Institute. In this system, the electrical power system (EPS), the computer inside the satellite (OBC) and the communication system are included in a single circuit board (PCB). It has been designed in a more advanced manner by adopting the technology used in Nepali-Sat One and Munal satellites. Engineer Adhikari says that due to this, there is enough space available inside the cube satellite to do other purposes.
