Two girls from Uzbekistan are participating in satellite development in India.

Mission ShakthiSAT, an international educational space project that brings together over 12,000 female engineers from 108 countries, is being implemented in India. Among the participants are two representatives of Uzbekistan, who have been given the opportunity to directly participate in the assembly of the engineering module of the ShakthiSAT-1 satellite.

The project aims to encourage girls' involvement in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), with a particular focus on aerospace engineering and space technology.

The Uzbek participants underwent a competitive selection process and received educational training. After mastering the theoretical material, they began the practical phase, where they were given access to the engineering module of the future satellite.

Mission ShakthiSAT organizers position the project as a platform for developing practical space engineering skills in young professionals. The program also aims to increase girls' interest in aerospace careers and train a new generation of space professionals.

Uzcosmos emphasizes that such international initiatives provide young professionals not only with theoretical knowledge but also with the opportunity to apply it in practical applications in the development of space technology.

India, meanwhile, is actively strengthening its position in the space industry. In July, the country successfully launched its first privately developed rocket, Vikram-1, into orbit, created by the startup Skyroot Aerospace.
