Indian Institute of Technology (IIT ), Bombay can now boast of the rare privilege of being one ofthe very few universities worldwide to have successfullylaunched its own satellite. Christened [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratham_(satellite) Pratham], being IITBombay's first foray into space technology, the satellite'spayload was to produce data on the total electron count in theatmosphere, used for applications like GPS correction.Planned, designed, built and tested exclusively by thestudents, with guidance from Indian Space ResearchOrganization (ISRO) and IITB faculty, the completelyautonomous satellite Pratham took IIT Bombay into the elitespace club on 26th September 2016, when it was launched byISRO on board the PSLV -C-35.<br \/> <br \/> After launching the first satellite, the team invested time in developing the concept for its second satellite, Advitiy which means 'Second to None'. [https://www.aero.iitb.ac.in/satlab/advitiy.php '''Advitiy'''] was being designed to be the lightest actively controlled 1U CubeSat. The payload for this mission was to transmit stored and uplinked images via SSTV. In addition to this, the team aimed to create low-cost receivers which could be used to receive these images. During the mission design, the team worked on designing the antenna deployment system. A closed-loop simulation framework was developed to aid the design of Attitude Determination and Controls Subsystem. In parallel to this, the team worked on the wiki, a systematic and organized compilation of the knowledge and the experience gained by the team through the journey of Pratham, IIT Bombay's first student satellite.<br \/> <br \/>The team has now begun After the next chapter announcement of opportunity for [https://www.isro.gov.in /update/15-jun-2019/announcement-of-opportunity-ao-orbital-platform '''ISRO's PSLV Stage 4 Orbital Platform'''], the StudentSatellite Project team decided to pause work on Advitiy and carry forward development of Antenna Deployment System along with other suitable CubeSat subsystems whose indigenous development will be of IITB relevance. With this objective Antenna Deployment System and work has begun Star Tracker based Attitude Determination System are being developed. They are aimed to be tested on Advitiy, theOrbital Platform of stage 4 of PSLV.<br/><br/>second satellite. The team has is also built working on a lunar mission called [https://www.glee2023.org/ '''The Great Lunar Expedition for Everyone (GLEE)'''] which is an autonomousgroundstation at IIT Bombay initiative by the University of Colorado Boulder to deploy 500 five-gram LunaSats, one of which will be designed by us, to the lunar surface to conduct local and distributed science missions. Inspired from NASA’s Apollo Moon landings 50 years ago, GLEE will be a catalyst for tracking a new generation of space missions and communicatingexplorers.<br/><br/>with satellitesThe [https://wwww.facebook.
