Indian Student Satellites

Indian students have been constructing a number of small satellites, four of which are scheduled to launch this year.

YouthSat is an Indian and Russian collaboration that aims to
- Study solar radiation
- Provide hands-on experience to student in space experiments and data-processing.
- Create a common platform for aerospace students across the world to jointly conduct experiments in space for the benefit of future generations and humanity as a whole.
