The satellite carries two payloads: one from SRM Public School in Chennai, India, and another from AVS Academy in Illinois, USA.
The Satellite has an IMU and Digipeater, which would be transmitted as part of telemetry for Amateur and Educational Purposes.
- To create awareness about Amateur Radio and Nano Satellites among School and College Students.
- To successfully transmit health telemetry and beacons for radio amateurs around the world.
- To Serve Digital Packet Store and Forward System.
- Serve as DemoSAT to qualify a new nanosat deployer.
The main goal of the satellite mission is to provide a LoRa digipeater for amateur radio operators as well as serve as DemoSat for a new nanosat deployer. The Amateur Radio Operators can send packet messages using the store and forward system of this satellite.
