The *Kathmandu Post* reports Nepal's first satellite *NepaliSat-1* was
launhed to the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday, April 17

As well as carrying an amateur radio payload on 435.375 MHz the 1U CubeSat
will also collect information about the country’s topography and earth’s
magnetic field. Meanwhile, officials said, the satellite itself will also
be studied for developing more advanced satellites in the future.

NepaliSat-1 was launched under the ‘Birds-3 satellite launch to
International Space Station project’ at 2:31am Wednesday by the Antares
rocket which carried the Cygnus cargo aircraft from the Virginia Air and
Space Center of National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The NepaliSat-1, developed by two Nepalis, *Abhas Maskey KG5WNC* and *Hari
Ram Shrestha KI5COO*, at Japan’s Kyushu Institute of Technology bears the
Nepali flag and the logo of Nepal Academy of Science and Technology.
Similar satellites from Japan and Sri Lanka were also launched alongside
