Payload

The objective of SRMSAT is to monitor green house gases in Near Infrared region 900nm - 1700nm. A grating spectrometer is employed for the monitoring of Earth-based sources and sinks of anthropogenic and natural sources of greenhouse gases.

Fig.2 indicates the methodology for extracting data from the SRMSAT payload for data-analysis. The parameters such as albedo, aerosol and radiosonde data, whilst considering the other parameters have been used to create a database and are used as a look-up table for the final SRMSAT data extraction. This will give the integrated CO2 and H2O over a certain region. The operation of the payload is defined by a boundary algorithm. These are latitude, longitude values that are stored on-board, within which scanning will take place. The boundary can be modified using a telecommand from the ground station.

  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.
