Vijayawada: In a historic stride for student-led space innovation and technology demonstration, KL Deemed to be University (KLEF) launched its three student-built satellites — KLSAT-2 (2U CubeSat), KLJAC (Lightweight Pico Balloon Satellite), and CanSat (4U Module)—from its Vaddeswaram campus.
The mission, lasting 60 to 90 minutes, focused on environmental data collection and drone-assisted CubeSat deployment — marking a first-of-its-kind experiment by students.
This marked a defining moment in the institution’s pursuit of indigenous space technology and research excellence.
Designed under the student satellite project, the initiative was led by the KLSAT team from the RF & Microwave Centre of Excellence, in collaboration with Andhra Pradesh State Council of Science & Technology (APCOST) and REDWING.
The event was graced by K. Raghurama Krishna Raju, Deputy Speaker, Andhra Assembly; Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma, Union Minister of State for Heavy Industries & Steel and Koneru Satyanarayana, President and Chancellor, KLEF.
