18-year-old Riphth Sharuk, resident of Palapatti, Tamilnadu has done a great job in the world of science. Rifth has achieved great success in the field of space science by creating the world’s smallest satellite. NASA launches this smallest satellite in the world created by Rift, June 21. Whose weight is just 64 grams.
Rampath has named this satellite ‘Kalmasat’ after the name of former President and scientist, APJ Abdul Kalam. This will be the first experimental satellite made by an Indian student, which NASA will send from the sounding rocket to space. This satellite was chosen through a competition named ‘Cubes in Space’. Which was jointly organized by an organization called ‘NASA’ and ‘I Doodle Learning’.
Rifat said that the mission of this satellite will be 240 minutes. This small satellite space will last for 12 minutes in the microscopic gravitational environment. Regarding the satellite, Rifat says, “The main function of the Satellite is to demonstrate the capability of 3D printed carbon fiber.” Rifat said that his satellite is made up of rainforest carbon fiber polymer. They said, ‘We have got some components from abroad and some have come from our country only.’
