In my latest article for The Diplomat Nepal, I explore why space is no longer a luxury for developing nations ? In this article I explored about the success of NepaliSat-1 and Munal. Embrace the $1.8 trillion global space market by 2035.
I argued that the reality of the 21st century is space technology is the backbone of modern disaster resilience, climate monitoring and telecommunications.
