A New Era: Nepal’s Satellite to Improve Disaster Forecasting

Nepal has successfully launched its first domestically developed satellite into orbit, aiming to enhance telecommunications and weather forecasting capabilities. The satellite, named “NepSat-1,” will provide accurate climate data, crucial for disaster-prone areas, and improve internet connectivity in remote regions. The Nepalese government collaborated with international space agencies to develop the technology, marking a significant milestone in the country’s scientific progress. The initiative is expected to benefit sectors like agriculture, disaster management, and education, making Nepal a new player in the global space industry.
