4.9/5 (26050 ratings)

Description:On 22 June, 2017, global space history was made when the world's smallest satellite was launched by a NASA rocket. The spacecraft, named KalamSat after former Indian President and rocket scientist A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, was designed by a seven-member team of young Indian space enthusiasts, led by the redoubtable Srimathy Kesan of Space Kidz India (SKI), Chennai. This incredible journey started with a balloon satellite launched by SKI in 2015 with plans now to build the first ever ‘Space Park for India’.The book captures behind-the-scenes events explaining how KalamSat was built in a workshop-cum-office – 'The Headquarters' – at Srimathy Kesan's Chennai bungalow. It unfolds the transformation of the lives of the team as history was being made. It shows how an 18-year-old scientist and his young co-warriors, hailing from humble backgrounds and with limited resources – with exams to write and college to attend – followed their dream steadfastly and brought their remarkable project to fruition.An inspiring tale for young and old, From Gulab Jamun to the Starsshowcases a new India in the making.
