Time since Lift-Off

Objective

In recent years small satellites have proven great potential in scientific, communication and military applications. “Opportunities space” is the word for small satellite systems. Small satellite systems strive to indentify future technological advancement to make successful programs. The Indian space Research organization which has launched more than 40 satellites to orbit encourages the small satellite systems, designed and developed, by universities. SRMSAT is one such university satellite designed and developed by the undergraduate students of SRM University. SRMSAT is a Nano-satellite of less than 10 kg designed to monitor green house gases, namely CO2 and H2O. The satellite will be launched by PSLV as a piggy back to the main satellite and will take up the orbit of the main satellite such that the orbit will be a LEO between 600-800 km altitudes.

    Working on a Satellite Project is like doing an MS programme at an Indian Institue Of Technology. It is a great opportunity for students to work on such a projects. Today, I feel as if I am sitting at a meeting in the ISRO satellite centre.

    This is a very exciting project with great potential for very interesting scientific work. I am particulary happy to see the young students working enthusiastically in this project. I am sure it will give them a good experience in working in major projects.

    We had an insightful discussion on the potential applications of spectroscopy in space research. We learnt how spectroscopy can provide solutions to the questions of universe. We discussed our satellite working in detail and used his advice to better our model.
