VSSUT Student Satellite -
India's first indigenous multipurpose Student rocketry mission. Teenage students from Odisha have built a satellite to manage the Hirakud Dam and prevent floods. The Satellite Vehicle was conceptualized by 21 year old Bodhisattwa Sanghpriya, a student of Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT), Burla, Odisha. The satellite can be used to monitor agricultural lands, observe water distribution and manage irrigation. It can also be implemented to analyze depth, flood-water drainage, rate of siltation and amount of sedimentation, and create real time 3D mesh maps. It will monitor water level, soil erosion, and the reservoir’s overall health. It can also help determine the area capacity of the reservoir, analyze stability of structures, and detect earthquakes. Their last launch attained a height of 2.3 kilometer and was retrieved successfully. The rocket will carry a Can Satellite (CanSat) payload of around 350 gms well equipped with state-of-the-art technology. This is a great progress and join with me to congratulate the team.
