| Abstract |
ANUSat is a cooperative microsatellite mission of Anna University of Chennai, Madras, India, and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization). An ISRO initiative of microsatellite development at Indian universities was approved in January 2002 and formally announced on Feb. 18, 2002. The overall objectives are to foster interest in Earth observation and space technology among students and faculty and to provide hands-on training for all aspects of spacecraft building and operations support. Anna University is the first university in India that has taken up space technology with emphasis on microsatellite development in its university engineering curriculum.
According to the agreement, Anna University will build the microsatellite and ISRO will launch the satellite as a piggyback payload on its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, PSLV. The project at the university is being reviewed periodically by ISRO scientists for effective and timely implementation. A preliminary design reviewtook place in Dec. 2002.
