An 18-year-old named Dhaanvi Karthikeyan from Chennai has made history by becoming the first female student from Tamil Nadu to visit the astronaut training and satellite manufacturing facilities in Moscow, Russia.

Out of 5 lakh students who participated in a nationwide online competition, Dhaanvi was selected as one of five students from India to attend a five-day International Aerospace Camp in the Russian capital.

During the camp, Dhaanvi had the unique opportunity to visit the astronaut training facility and observe the satellite manufacturing processes at the International Aerospace Centre in Moscow.

Describing her experience at the camp, Karthikeyan said this opportunity would not have been possible without her deep interest in quantum mechanics, and called it a ‘dream come true’.
