Space Technology Students Society (spAts) under Kalpana Chawla Space Technology Cell, IIT Kharagpur is organizing a Space Art Competition in online mode.

About the Organizer

Space Technology Students’ Society, or spAts, is the official student body under Kalpana Chawla Space Technology Cell, IIT Kharagpur. Established in 2008 by a small group of young and ambitious undergraduate students, spAts had humble beginnings.

A small club founded as a congregation of students with a common interest called space, spAts started as an ordinary student-run society with big ambitions.

The National Students’ Space Challenge (NSSC) is the centrepiece of spAts. As the name suggests, NSSC is a national-level fest dedicated solely to space and space technology.
