Kanpur:
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur has come in to
agreement with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to
launch a nano satellite. It will be the country's lightest and the
institute's first satellite to be launched in the orbit from
Sriharikota.
IIT Kanpur had presented the second design review to ISRO which
nodded to launch the satellite.
"Though the memorandum of understanding between ISRO and IIT-K for
the project was signed in February, regular review sessions are
being carried out by ISRO to check the progress of the project,"
said Sanjay Govind Dhande, Director, IIT Kanpur.
"On Tuesday, our technical team working on the project apprised ISRO
authorities of the release and antenna mechanism," he said.In April,
the first review of Jugnu was carried out by ISRO.
Since last December, a team of 40 students and around 12 professors,
led by Professor and Mechanical Engineering Department Head,
Nalinaksh S Vyas have been working on the project.
"A similar project in any European country would have cost over Rs
10 crore but we expect the entire project to complete within a
budget of Rs 2-3 crore, without compromising on quality. This is a
welcome signal for indigenous remote sensing technologies," said
Vyas.
A technical team led by D Madhav Murthy in the ISRO for Small
Satellite, has said that the procedures for informing the ISRO
officials for launch by a mother satellite has been provided, along
with the details of the positioning of the satellite antenna set up
in the institute premises.
Jugnu weighs around 3.5 kgs and would be 34 cm long and 10 cm wide.
Equipped with the micro imaging and micro electronic system, it will
transfer the images to the IIT Kanpur campus. The high resolution
pictures obtained will be used for different applications like
drought monitoring, wasteland management, urban planning and flood
risk management.
"Although the stipulated life time of the satellite is six months,
we are optimistic that it will complete at least 12 months in the
orbit," said Dhandhe. |
