** CubeSat built by undergraduate students at Birla Institute of Technology, Pilani<\/strong> in India will include an advance imaging system: BITS Pilani students inch closer to nano-sat launch – AsianAge.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Mentored by experts from the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro), undergraduate students at Birla Institute of Technology, Pilani, are inching closer to their dream of designing and launching a nano-satellite or cubesat \u2014 of the size of a shoebox \u2013 with a special camera that will help study the earth\u2019s surface for response during natural hazards and track carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.<\/em><\/p>\n

The country\u2019s first student-run undergraduate research group, which is on a mission to launch a one-of-its-kind nano-satellite with hyperspectral imager, has been christened Team Anant. It has 40 members across all engineering branches and batches at the Rajasthan-based institute.<\/em><\/p>\n
