Mission ShakthiSAT
Mission Overview
ShakthiSAT is a global mission to empower 12,000 girls from 108 countries through real-time satellite projects.
The mission aims to ignite passion for STEM and space by bringing together 12000 girls across 108 nations. Driven by the desire to empower young girls globally through the awe-inspiring realm of space exploration, ShakthiSAT welcomes participation from every corner of the world.
"Uniting Humanity Under One Sky."
What is Mission ShakthiSAT?
ShakthiSAT represents more than a satellite mission—it's a philosophy of building bridges across cultures through STEM and space collaboration.
It stands as a beacon of hope, dedicated to fostering unparalleled international cooperation and unity across the globe.
ShakthiSAT sparks a shared sense of purpose, reminding us that discovery becomes richer when humanity learns, builds, and reaches upward together. It encourages collaboration that transcends nationality, language, and geography, allowing young learners to see themselves as contributors to a global scientific journey rather than observers from afar.
With every step forward, the mission reinforces the belief that space is not the privilege of a few, but a frontier that belongs to all.
"When humanity looks up, we see no borders."
Why Girls in Space?
20%
Women are in space industry jobs globally.
The gender gap in space and STEM fields remains significant. ShakthiSAT is our answer—an initiative to ignite passion, nurture leadership, and dismantle limits. Empowering girls in space fuels imagination, unlocks hidden potential, and opens pathways to shape humanity’s future among the stars.
We believe in equal access to infinity — every girl deserves the chance to reach beyond the sky.

Why 108 Countries?
The number 108 carries deep cultural, scientific, and spiritual significance across civilizations—symbolizing completeness, cosmic harmony, and unity. Bringing together 108 nations in a shared mission sparks innovation through diversity, strengthens collaboration, and builds a future where humanity learns, explores, and grows together among the stars.
By uniting 108 countries, we celebrate diversity as a force multiplier—proving that breakthroughs flourish when perspectives merge, borders fade, and the cosmos becomes a shared destination rather than a distant dream.
"108 nations, one cosmos."
