Over a year after Pratham, a satellite designed and built by students of IIT-Bombay was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) into space, the makers of the satellite have now launched a wiki page to make the information about its make and functioning accessible to all.
Called 'Satellite 101', the page has been created exclusively by the members of the IIT-Bombay Student Satellite Project (IITBSSP). It gives a step-by-step guide to building a student satellite, right from building a team for the task to developing the satellite sub-systems.
"We are hopeful that this Wiki page would lead to many more Prathams across several colleges of India, thereby leading to an overall improvement in the science and technology sector in the country," said one of the members of IITBSSP.
The wiki page clearly warns students that the information provided by the team cannot 'replace' the efforts that go into the making of a sattelite, but can only 'supplement' them.
Pratham, a weather satellite, was launched into space on September 26, 2016, as a part of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) of the ISRO. The students of the institute are now working on the second student satellite — Advitiy (meaning unparalleled). The students hope to add to the contents of the wiki page with updates on the developments in the work of Advitiy. "We decided to maintain this wiki as a parallel to our work on Advitiy, so that it can keep evolving in tandem with our experience," states the page.
