Summary
STUDSAT, also known as Studsat, is a CubeSat (1U) technology satellite launched by NMIT on July 12, 2010, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre using a PSLV launch vehicle. The spacecraft measures 0.135 meters in length with a diameter of 0.1 meters and weighs approximately 0.95 kilograms both at launch and dry mass. It is equipped with a CMOS camera for technology demonstration purposes and powered by solar cells and batteries. The satellite's operational lifetime was planned to last six months, and it was stabilized using its shape as a cube with no active attitude control system mentioned.
