Our Story
It all began from the student satellite Lab at IIT Bombay, where the founders were making a satellite- Pratham (the First), which is operated by IIT Bombay. Pratham is an Indian ionospheric research satellite whose primary mission is to count electrons in the Earth's ionosphere. Tushar was the project manager and Ashtesh was heading the on board computer for Pratham. One of the potential applications of Ionosphere data was to get early warning of the Tsunami. This made them realise the potential of space very early.
“It's a new way of looking at the world, it's a new way of solving problems, it's a new way of life.”- Tushar. After years of hard work and a number of failures, the satellite was finally launched on 26 September 2016 on ISRO’s PSLV C35 rocket, fulfilling their dream and changing their lives forever. They found their true passion- passion for building space technologies. Two old friends with the same passion and purpose decided to build the future of space together and Manastu came into existence. At Manastu Space, we aim to achieve our purpose- Efficiently, Sustainably and Reliably
