From an Apartment Terrace to the Moon, We're Making Space Science Belong to Everyone

CSTERC Techno Science LLP is a Coimbatore-based space science & technology company designing telescopes, running NASA-affiliated student research programmes, and building India's first grassroots lunar-habitation simulation.

What started in 2020 on a residential apartment terrace in Bengaluru, with a handful of students looking up at the sky, has grown into one of the most impactful grassroots space science organisations.

Founded during the pandemic as Chiguru Colab LLP, and backed by the credibility of Open Space Foundation (a registered Space Tutor of ISRO), we began with a simple but radical conviction: space science and technology should be accessible from the grassroots, not locked inside institutions.

That conviction turned heads fast. In July 2022, our student witness of the James Webb Space Telescope's first image reveal was featured on NASA TV, making us one of only a handful of grassroots organisations worldwide to receive that honour. That same year, we presented our Astro-Digital Library concept at the International Astronomical Union's Communicating Astronomy with the Public (CAP) conference.

In 2024, we evolved. We relocated to Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, set up our own telescope manufacturing unit, and rebranded as CSTERC Techno Science LLP, sharpening our identity as a technology-first, research-driven organisation.

Making Space Science Accessible to Everyone

CSTERC Techno Science LLP is on a mission to bring space science and technology within reach of every student, school, and community across India. From building your own telescope to searching for undiscovered asteroids and sending real payloads to near-space, we turn the universe from something you read about into something you experience, hands-on, guided by mentors, and backed by genuine research partnerships.
