PISat is a low cost Earth Surface Imaging nanosatellite, developed at the Crucible of Research and Innovation Laboratory of PESIT (PES Institute of Technology), Bangalore, India to provide a hands-on environment for students in all aspects of satellite building and operations.
PISat is a nanosatellite of size 254 x 256 x 181 mm and a mass of 5.3 kg. The spacecraft is equipped with an imaging instrument to capture imagery of Earth’s surface.
A launch of the PISat nanosatellite as a secondary payload is planned for 2015 on a PSLV launcher of ISRO. A launch arrangement was signed in August 2014.
PISat’s launch was delayed; the nanosatellite launched on 26 September 2016.
Orbit: Sun-synchronous near circular orbit, altitude = 630 km, inclination = 97.86º.
