Isro launches city institute’s satellite
The Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) on Sunday launched PSLV C-51 from Sriharikota. One of the satellites that is being launched in the orbit - Sri Shakthi Sat - is developed by Sri Shakthi Institute of Engineering and Technology in the district.
The satellite could perform all Internet of things (IoT) operations, right from detecting a leaking underground pipeline to fire in forest or buildings.
As the satellite would be placed at 500km to 575km above the earth, it would cross India twice a day. To get data round the clock, it will inter communicate with 300 other satellites. TNN
