High above our heads, and spiralling across it in an intricate alignment, lies a digital beehive, collecting clusters of information through the cosmic web.

What do these mechanised "bees" look like? An intricate mesh covering this gigantic geoid? Or simplified integrated circuits with info-streams coursing through their structures?

It was mankind's dream to unravel the mysteries of what lies beyond the sky dome until one day that dream became reality with the invention of the Satellite.

Join us as we venture into the world of this engineering marvel with Hosts Athar and Aarushi in conversation with Nidhi and Shishir from MIT's student satellite team Parikshit!
