THE GAP

Closing South Asia's space-qualification gap.

Nepal has already launched student-built CubeSats. But currently must send that hardware abroad for the environmental testing that certifies it as space-ready. A compact, professionally equipped testing centre in the Kathmandu Valley gives Nepal and its neighbours a domestic home for that critical step.

TESTING CAPABILITIES

To international standards, with anchor customers at launch.

ENVIRONMENTAL

Thermal-vacuum testing

Qualify hardware against the temperature extremes and vacuum of orbit.

MECHANICAL

Vibration testing

Prove a satellite survives the violent loads of launch.

INTEGRATION

Cleanroom integration

Assemble and integrate payloads in a controlled, contamination-free environment.

THE BACKBONE

Mission Control & station systems.

Beyond the testing centre, Vyom Labs operates the infrastructure that makes analog missions run: a Mission Control Centre in Manang that oversees every mission and monitors crew health and a station power-and-comms backbone built for authentic, resource-constrained operations.

WHO IT SERVES

A shared facility for the region's CubeSat community.

01

University teams

Nepali and South Asian students building their first satellites.

02

Commercial builders

Startups and companies needing local, affordable qualification.

03

Research groups

Payload developers validating instruments before flight.
