“It took three years to prepare this satellite and if someone have funded me, then this would have completed in six months. One crucial aspect of this satellite is that it is an outreach program. India’s first space scientist was Vikram Sarabhai, who pioneered space research in India. We don’t lack resources in J&K to prepare a satellite, what we lack here is awareness.”, he added.
“The purpose of making a satellite is to be launched in space and that’s why I have installed GPS, House-keeping sensors, ADC sensors and IMU in it. It also contains a camera on its bottom, but its low resolution camera cannot process scientific data at this time”, he said.
