The prototype model of CrescentSAT is capable of recording various atmospheric parameters and perform live transmission of datas.
ISRO Scientific Secretary Mr.Umamaheshwaran was the Chief Guest of the occasion and launched our CrescentSAT. It reached the altitude of 30 KM in the space , then as pre-designed Balloon bursted and the satellite started descending down using parachute and landed in Bay of Bengal at a distance of 130 KM from the Chennai sea shore. The data transmission system designed by our students operated extremely well and we obtained live data stream and images from our satellite.
Great effort by our students (20 students from ECE, EEE, EIE, Mechanical, IT and CSE departments). They have spent more than three months day and night in designing and implementing this CrescentSAT.
The unique feature of this CRESCENTSAT is
1. It is a Reusable satellite
1. Incorporation of HAM radio & LoRa facility.
2. Live data (atmospheric parameters) and image transmission from space.
3. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (Remote Sensing) to identify the presence of green vegetation and plant health monitoring.
4. Biological study in space by utilizing microbes and germinating seeds.
