Namibian Girls Gear Up for Lunar Orbit Mission

India's High Commission started a space program called Mission ShakthiSAT-Namibia. Through this new project, girls from Namibia can help send a satellite around the moon. The team picked 108 Namibian girls to learn special space skills during the program. These students will become space pioneers by working directly with satellite technology.

Rahul Shrivastava from India explains that girls need more chances in science and math. He wants female students to study satellites and similar technical subjects. The program fits perfectly with Namibia's recent push toward digital systems and smart computers. These new tools already help Namibian farmers track changes in nature and protect important computer networks.

The classes cover basic physics, math problems, computer programming, and how satellites function. Girls will build engineering skills and learn coding through carefully designed lessons. After finishing online training, the top student travels to India for extra learning. She'll build real satellite parts and test actual space equipment herself.

Space expert Smita Francis runs everything inside Namibia for the mission team. Compared to men, almost no women work in space jobs around the world. This program breaks down old ideas about what girls can do with their careers. It creates new female scientists, engineers, and space workers for Namibia's future success.
