Rasuwa Flood 2026 | Satellite-Based Assessment & Monitoring

The 26 August flood hit communities along the Rasuwa and Trishuli corridor hard. With clouds and steep terrain limiting access, Antarikchya Pratisthan Nepal (APN) turned to satellite data to help understand what happened and what remains at risk.

What the imagery shows:
• An ice-rock mass collapse high in the mountains was identified as the origin, and the collapsed area was also picked up in SAR imagery.
• Thousands of people and buildings were affected in the municipalities along the Trishuli, with Bidur, Gosaikunda, Benighat Rorang and Uttargaya among the hardest hit.
• Three barrier lakes formed along the debris path, at different elevations. Two have since drained, and the third is still being watched.

Swipe through to see the origin, the impact and the lake monitoring timeline.

This work was only possible because satellites operators, agencies, drone teams and Ground teams shared their data and images when it mattered.
Thank you.

And just like that, SpaceCon 2026 is a wrap! But the energy, the ideas, and the friendships made here will carry on long after the event. Until next time!

The Closing Ceremony for SpaceCon 2026 went predictably well. We were honored that Roshan Pandey, the Chief of Faculty of Technology at NAST, gave the closing remarks for SpaceCon2026. Following his remarks, SpaceCon 2026 ended with a delightful song by our very own Junior Satellite Team, which was written and composed by Dr. Ramesh Kumar Maskey.

It was a wonderful end to an incredible day of learning, collaboration, and inspiration.

The second panel discussion of SpaceCon 2026 explored the intersection of ICT, space, and the diaspora in accelerating jobs and empowering entrepreneurs in Nepal. The panel was moderated by Ms. Yajaswi Rai. Mr. Deepak Rauniyar from Oorja World, Ms. Jagriti Luitel, Aerospace Innovator and Human Spaceflight Trainee, and Mr. Ashish Khanal from Things Cyber participated as panelists.
The conversation around ICT, space, and the diaspora was immensely immersive and meaningful. The team at Antarikchya is glad that it went as well as it did. We thank all the panelists and for their valuable insights and time.
