HELLO THERE!

We are team Pathfinders, IPD Batch 4, who took up the task of developing and designing an asteroid mining mission to 1989ML. Truth be told, on learning what we were supposed to do, personally, being only a B.Tech 3rd year student, the tasks seemed beyond my comprehension. But as we eased into the work atmosphere, the mission at hand seemed less and less daunting. This was especially due to the care and patience our mentors Rashika and Vishnu as well as our coordinator Anisha wrapped us with.

Day by day as meetings progressed, all 11 of us strangers melted and mingled with each other like marshmallows in a cup of hot chocolate. The informal as well as formal sessions, training sessions as well as ice breaking sessions really got us grooving. We were able to ask doubts, how ever silly it maybe, to our mentors, and grow a step during each session. Looking back, all the work done in terms of reports, research, literature review and comparison studies helped us grow into students who were ground in the most professional of manners, all because of the tremendous support we received from the SSERD team.

At last, having crossed all the bumps along the way, we were able to finish all our assigned tasks and come out as professionally refined individuals.
