30 Nights of Starpeace - STARPEACE event by SPACE during GAM

 

30 NSP FROM INDIA

April 4-6 was the turn of countries in the 72-108 E longitude zone. SPACE contacted various other Starpeace counterparts in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afganistan, and Nepal to host a 30NSP event during April 4-6. During this period few solar observations and night observations were done. SPACE proposed a sun observation to Pakistani counterparts as they had security problems in gathering people at night.
