KL University showcased two of its student-developed satellites, KLSAT-1 and KLSAT-2, at the newly inaugurated Rajamahendravaram Science Centre. The advanced CubeSat modules used in the satellites are developed entirely in-house by KL University students, drawing widespread attention during the Science Centre’s prestigious launch ceremony. The event was attended by Mr. Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Hon’ble Union Minister, Mr. Konidela Pawan Kalyan, Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, and Ms. Daggubati Purandeswari, Hon’ble Governor of Andhra Pradesh. The dignitaries praised the student-led innovations as they are true examples of India’s technological self-reliance under the Atma Nirbhar Bharat vision. The development of the KLSAT series was a true interdisciplinary effort that involved students and faculty from Electronics and Communication Engineering, Mechanical, and Computer Science departments. Every aspect, from the satellite’s structural frame to telemetry systems and web interfaces, was designed, built, and tested by the university’s internal teams. Among the notable student contributors were Yalla Sai Teja and Kolachalam Sai Charan. Sai Charan, who served as the Project Lead from the ECE department, reflected on the experience, saying, “Presenting KLSAT to national leaders during the Science Centre inauguration was surreal. Explaining our innovations in prototyping, telemetry, onboard sensors, and orbital testing — and receiving their encouragement — was a moment I’ll always cherish.” KLSAT-1 has already completed a successful launch and recovery mission, while KLSAT-2 features advanced capabilities including a quad-camera system and onboard spectroscopy sensors. Both satellites are designed for real-time data collection, onboard processing, UHF/VHF and LoRa telemetry, and modular adaptability for varied missions. These achievements highlight KL University's robust research environment that blends academic learning with real-world engineering applications. Moving forward, with four to six new modules have already been tested and one planned for low-Earth orbit, the KLSAT team is setting its sights on national competitions such as CanSat India and In-Space Model Rocketry Challenges. The team is also actively pursuing collaborative opportunities with ISRO. The initiative stands as a testament to KL University’s place among the top universities in South India, where students are not just learning about technology but actively shaping its future.
