Two university cubesats JUGNU and SRMSAT
JUGNU was developed by a team of students and faculty at IIT Kanpur and ISRO scientists to launch India's first Nano Satellite. The satellite's mission includes:
Micro Imaging System
GPS receiver for locating the position of satellite in the orbit
MEMS based IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)
Jugnu Frequencies:
CW Beacon - 437.275 (17dbm)
Pay load - 437.505
At press time no further information was available for SRMSAT other than its payload down link and CW Beacon will transmit on 437.425 MHz(10dbm)
