'''SRMSAT''' is a [[Nanosatellite]] built by students at [[SRM Institute of Science and Technology|Sri Ramaswamy Memorial University(SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai)]] in [[India]]. The satellite is an Indian [[Technology demonstration]] and [[Earth observation]] satellite which is operated by the [[SRM Institute of Science and Technology]]. This [[nanosatellite]] was used to monitor Greenhouse gases in atmosphere.

SRMSAT's primary mission was the development of a [[nanosatellite]] [[satellite bus|platform]] for future missions. Its secondary mission was monitoring of [[greenhouse gas]]ses<ref>{{cite web |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-10-11/chennai/30266441_1_srm-university-nano-satellite-ground-station|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130126064719/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-10-11/chennai/30266441_1_srm-university-nano-satellite-ground-station|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-01-26|work=[[The Times of India]]|title=TN university plans centre for space technology }}</ref> using an Argus [[Spectrometer]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thoth.ca/spectrometers.htm |title=Argus Infrared Spectrometers |publisher=Thoth Technology Inc. |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131127085357/http://thoth.ca/spectrometers.htm |archive-date=27 November 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

==Specifications==
* It is a {{convert|10.4|kg|adj=on}} spacecraft, which measures {{convert|28|cm}} in length by {{convert|28|cm}} in height and width.
* Its development programme cost around 1.5 crore rupee.
* It had a design life of one year, but is still working {{As of|2017|10}} and can be tracked easily on n2yo.com <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.n2yo.com/?s=37841|title=LIVE REAL TIME SATELLITE TRACKING AND PREDICTIONS: SRMSAT|work=N2YO.com - Real Time Satellite Tracking and Predictions|access-date=28 October 2015}}</ref>

==Launch==
It was launched from the [[Indian Space Research Organisation|Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)]]'s [[Satish Dhawan Space Centre]] at [[Sriharikota]] in October 2011.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/PSLV-C18-carrying-weather-satellite-launched/articleshow/10323961.cms|title=PSLV-C18 carrying weather satellite launched |publisher=Times Of India}}</ref> atop a [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle|Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)]] C18 [[rocket]]. The launch was a multi-payload mission shared with [[Megha-Tropiques]], [[VesselSat-1]] and [[Jugnu (satellite)|Jugnu]].<ref name="The Hindu -12Oct2011-- PSLV-C18 puts four satellites in orbit">{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2530847.ece|title=PSLV-C18 puts four satellites in orbit|last=Subramanian|first=T.

==Parameters==
SRMSAT<ref>{{cite web |url=https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=2011-058D |title=SRMSAT |publisher=NASA}}</ref> is controlled by a 28.8 MHz [[Atmel]] microcontroller. Communication is via [[Ultra high frequency|Ultra high frequency (UHF)]], with a [[downlink]] at 437.5 MHz providing a data rate of 2.4 kbit/s and an [[uplink]] at 145.9 MHz with a 1 kbit/s data rate. [[Attitude control]] is via solar cell management system (SCDM), an on-board [[magnetometer]] and [[Global Positioning System|Global Positioning System (GPS)]] receiver that provide data for [[magnetorquer]] coils which interact with the [[Earth]]'s [[magnetosphere]] to change the satellite's orientation.
