Hello Libre Space Community,
My name is K.R. Sasmitha Kaushan, and I am the Team Leader of SLARS at Bandaranayake College Gampaha in Sri Lanka. Together with my classmates, we are working on SLARS-BCG-1, a 2U CubeSat that we hope will become Sri Lanka’s first student-built satellite.
We have been reaching out to many organizations and individuals over the past months, but most have not replied or have asked for paid support. As students, we have very limited resources, and this journey has been exhausting. This message is our final attempt to seek mentorship and guidance from a community we deeply respect.
We are passionate and determined, but without expert advice we risk losing momentum. Even a small amount of guidance—such as pointing us to resources, reviewing our subsystem plans, or connecting us with a mentor—would mean the world to us.
We believe in the spirit of open collaboration and education, and we hope that someone here can help us take the next step.
Thank you for your time, and for building such a supportive community.
With hope,
K.R. Sasmitha Kaushan
Team Leader – SLARS
