Buoyed by its success in placing eight nanosatellites in prescribed orbits, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is hoping to stage another feat by launching 100 nano-sats at one go. Scientists at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, are preparing elaborate drawings to make this event happen some two years from now.
The ISRO has already intimated universities world wide about the project and has extended an open invite to any varsity to take part in the historic venture. Within the country, the IITs in Kanpur and Mumbai were among the first to express interest along with ISRO’s Indian Institute of Space Science at Thiruvananthapuram. The Madurai Kamaraj University is already in the process of fabricating its satellite.
Chandrayaan update is that it might launch in Mid October.
