IITB Student Satellite Program

We celebrate the 47th launch anniversary of India's first satellite, Aryabhata. We hope that Indian satellite technology grow more and more every year and help society in every respect.

Did you know?
Before the launch of Aryabhata, the spacecraft had fallen, which resulted in the ceasing of the function of the satellite's electrical power system. It took four days to get repaired and ready for the launch.

Greetings!

From the launch of the first satellite built by an institute in India, ANUSAT, in April 2009, to the launch of the world's smallest satellite, KalamSat, built by an 18-year-old student using 3-D printing, the student satellite regime in India has come a long way. This has been possible due to the commendable efforts put in by these dedicated and dreamy students, under the guidance of our very own ISRO.

To ignite this fire within each one of us, IITB Student Satellite Program brings to you “SPACEPro: Satellites Powered And Created by Emerging Prodigies”, wherein we will be sharing information about some of the Indian student satellites that have been launched into space. We will talk about these satellites, their launching, the milestones they have achieved, and their noteworthy contribution to space research in India.

IITBSSP's first venture into space technology, Pratham, was a completely autonomous satellite designed by the students of IIT Bombay under the guidance of ISRO and IIT Bombay faculty. 26th of September, 2016 was the day when the 8 year-long efforts of our team members and faculty advisors were packed in the small box called 'Pratham' and launched into the space onboard PSLV C35 for exploration.
As we celebrate 5 years of the launch of Pratham, we would like to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed to IITBSSP's 'First Step Towards Infinity'. It is now our privilege and responsibility to carry on the legacy and achieve greater and greater heights.
