‘Mission Exoquest’ is the story of a far more gigantic leap that the authoress dared to imagine. In this book, where there is more fact than fiction, Ivanya plunges into the depths of the intriguing world of rocket science to transport a group of scientists from Earth aboard their spaceship, aptly named Grahavahini, to exoplanet Kepler-22b and discusses the dynamics of cosmic travel with her readers.
This book merges the technical nitty-gritty of planning, and training, lift-off and touchdown for interstellar travel with the limitless imagination of an ever-inquisitive mind—breaking down the barriers between reality and dream.
This book is dedicated to the unrelenting human spirit that charts new beginnings. May ‘Mission Exoquest’ inspire everyone—especially young readers—to think, to dream, and plan their next journey to the stars, and beyond.
Ivanya Kabir
Ivanya Kabir is a dynamic high school student with endless imagination, from Delhi, India. She is the epitome of a global citizen having been born in Singapore, spent her early childhood in San Francisco, and currently living in Delhi.
Ivanya is a space enthusiast. In her spare time, she dedicates herself to building ‘rockets’. Ivanya’s artistic talents are as keen as her scientific ones. A trained dancer in the Odissi art form, she connects with her roots to express stories with every subtle, graceful emotion that also marks her writing.
Even though her head is among the stars, Ivanya is rooted firmly to Mother Earth. Deeply committed to community service, she often conducts physics workshops for underprivileged children to inculcate in them a scientific temper, without which, she believes, the young generation will never discover themselves.
