Mission Goals

The Mission Goal is to make a Nano satellite at IIT Kanpur that would serve the following applications:

1. Micro Imaging System
2. GPS receiver for locating the position of satellite in the orbit
3. MEMS based IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)

The Primary Objectives of the mission are:

1. To initiate research activities towards development of MEMS based Nano-satellite.
2. To test new cheap solutions for the future cost effective space missions.
3. To set the path for future up gradations and study such validation concepts for possible up gradations.

Long term Objectives of the mission are:

1. To develop competence in design, fabrication and usage of micro satellites.
2. Complement the development efforts of the country's satellite application requirements through technology development and validation at the micro satellite level
3. Development and training of human resources.
4. Strengthen activities in MEMS sensor based technology applications.
