Our institute is proud to be the first institute in Kerala and the only women institute in India to accomplish this milestone. Our project has garnered extensive media coverage in a multitude of prestigious newspapers (The Hindu, The Indian Express, Manorama, etc.) and telecasted on prominent channels.
MoU signed with VSSC, ISRO, IN-SPACe, Dept. of Space, and Govt. of India for launching WESAT in the upcoming PSLV mission. The project received funding from the central government through DST Nidhi Prayas scheme and from the state government via Kerala Startup Mission.
WESAT would gain international recognition as this could be seen as an epitome of women empowerment, and this could leave a widespread impact both nationally and internationally.
WESAT (Women Engineered SATellite),is a groundbreaking mission, initiated by the Space Club of LBSITW. The purpose of WESAT is to measure UV rays in space and on earth’s surface and their influence on the warm temperatures and climate change phenomena in Kerala which is an important area addressed by the Govt of Kerala in view of the severe floods badly affected on the year 2018. The high levels of UV rays in our state can contribute to various health issues, making WESAT's study essential.
