The Twin-Satellites STUDSAT-2A and STUDSAT-2B weighing less than {{convert|10|kg|lb|abbr=on}} are of dimensions 30×30×15&amp;nbsp;cm. The main goal of the StudSat-2 project is to develop a low-cost small satellite, capable of operating small scientific or technological payloads where real time connectivity is provided by inter-satellite links.<br /> <br /> Team STUDSAT is coming up with another milestone, Project STUDSAT-2, India&#039;s First Twin Nano Satellite Mission to prove Inter Satellite Communication. The student group which was inspired by the Project STUDSAT-1 are the pioneers to this project. Project STUDSAT-2 consisting of two Nano Satellites STUDSAT 2A &amp; 2B has multiple cutting edge technologies. The satellites are in along-the-track constellation architecture with the STUDSAT-2A sending position and velocity data to the STUDSAT-2B through Inter Satellite Link.<br /> <br /> ==Objectives==<br /> <br /> ===Primary===<br /> <br /> # To demonstrate In-Orbit Separation Mechanism for STUDSAT 2A/2B.<br /> # To design, develop and implement Drag Sail technology in STUDSAT 2B for de-orbiting.<br /> # To demonstrate Inter Satellite Communication.<br /> # To demonstrate Solar Panel and Antenna Deployment mechanism in a Nano satellite.<br /> # To capture images of Earth with a CMOS multispectral camera.<br /> <br /> ==Secondary==<br /> # To create a modular architecture of small satellite which can be used in future missions.<br /> # To demonstrate satellite development by a team of under graduate students from seven engineering colleges.<br /> # To promote space technology in educational institutions and encourage research and development in miniaturized satellites.<br /> # To bridge the gap between academic institutes, research organizations and industries.<br /> <br /> ==Studsat-2 consortium==<br /> Studsat-2 consortium consists of seven Engineering colleges across [[South India]] bound by an [[Memorandum of understanding|MOU]] in order to sponsor the project financially. The consortium comprises following colleges.<br /> *[[Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology]], [[Bangalore]].
