Snehadeep Kumar

we have @deepatnebula as our next guest. co-founder/ceo: @nebulaspaceorg. who's building mini satellites from his dorm room - fellow of royal astronomical society - emergent ventures grantee - started an academic journal in highschool getting attention from nobel laureates

Thanks a lot, Caleb!

Quite a pleasant way to start the week, with a new feature again 😄

Thank you very much to the @mercatus for awarding us the Emergent Ventures grant for building @nebulaspaceorg. Huge thanks to @tylercowen and @srajagopalan for trusting us and our mission. Time to make Earth observation accessible for all!

Do you know what happens when we have to cut the cost of R&D to more than 80%? Our own flight computer! Inspired from the VST104 Board Sierra, it is custom designed for the SABHASAT. Bringing down the cost for a OBC from a 1000 to just 100 dollars!

@AnushkaSharad How's uni going? Are you interning anywhere?

@deepatnebula I understand, haha. Nebula's doing great! I was very happy to be a part of it! :D

'It was beautiful while it lasted.' Sometimes that’s all there is to say. And all there needs to be.

@AnushkaSharad Quite good! Pushing hard not to be consumed by AI lol. Just joking, working on Nebula as always :)

@deepatnebula Oh, hey, old friend! I'm doing pretty well. How've you been?

@paraschopra How's "Out of our minds"?

My haul from Oxford! It’s a heaven for book lovers; so many oddball books that are impossible to find in mainstream stores.

@_sonith Try the book about Formula 1, that's really goated

I hadn't read a book in it's entirety for a few years. At least any book that I truly enjoyed. Reading is now one of my favorite things.... love it.

@ElonMastikhor @cluely for just a short amount of time honestly, until the old school lesson of trend popularity vanishes away

astronomer ceo and head of HR would make great ambassadors of @cluely

The lack of hardware startups these days... is frighteningly low tbh

They didn’t have billions. Just scrap metal, a smartphone, and a sky full of ambition. At just 21, Snehadeep Kumar (West Bengal) and Mohit Kumar Nayak (Odisha) are building India’s first student-led CubeSat — a tiny, modular satellite that detects gamma rays from black holes and cosmic explosions. While most space missions run on massive budgets, Nebula Space Organisation's project runs on: > ₹700 local metal (instead of ₹1.5 crore aerospace parts) > A smartphone app for satellite control > Open-source learning and pure grit They also plan to retrieve and recycle their satellite using solar energy and Earth’s trajectory, ensuring no space junk is left behind. “We want to make space research affordable and available for students and developing countries,” says Mohit. After two years of intense R&D, their prototype is ready. The dream is to launch the satellite by the end of 2025. They’ve pitched at the International Astronautical Congress 2024 in Milan and are now in talks with investors. From hostel brainstorming sessions to the world’s biggest space stage, they’re rewriting the rules of innovation. Because space isn’t just for billionaires — it’s for believers.
