Carpenter's daughter selected for the world's first all-girls Moon mission: Meet the Andhra teen chasing her ISRO dream
In a government school classroom in Dowleswaram, a physical science teacher noticed something in a Class 10 student that would eventually take her all the way to New Delhi, and possibly, one day, to the Indian Space Research Organisation ( ISRO ).
That student is Kandula Jessie . She is 14 years old, the daughter of a carpenter, and now one of 20 Indian participants selected for Mission ShakthiSAT , the world's first global all-girls lunar CubeSat mission . She is also the only student from Andhra Pradesh to make the final Indian list, chosen from nearly 12,000 registrations across 108 countries.
