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 \/> The After launching the first satellite, the team has now begun the next chapter invested time in developing the StudentSatellite Project of IITB and work has begun on 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 thesecond satellitelightest actively controlled 1U CubeSat. The team has also built an autonomousgroundstation at IIT Bombay payload for tracking this mission was to transmit stored and communicatingwith satellitesuplinked images via SSTV. In addition to this, the team aimed to create low-cost receivers which could be used to receive these images. With groundstation workshopsDuring the mission design, HAM Club the team worked on designing the antenna deployment system. A closed-loop simulation framework was developed to aid the design of Attitude Determination andvarious other related activitiesControls Subsystem. In parallel to this, the Project also aims toinvolve other universities across India team worked on the wiki, a systematic and spread organized compilation of theknowledge accumulated and the experience gained by the team over through the years as a part journey of Pratham, IIT Bombay's first student satellite.<br/><br/>After the social goalannouncement of opportunity for [https://www. This Wiki was created towards that endisro.gov.in/update/15-jun-2019/announcement-of-opportunity-ao-orbital-platform '''ISRO's PSLV Stage 4 Orbital Platform'''], the 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 relevance. With this objective Antenna Deployment System and Star Tracker based Attitude Determination System are being developed. They are aimed to be tested on the Orbital Platform of stage 4 of PSLV. <br \/> <br \/>The team is also working on a lunar mission called [https://www.glee2023.org/ '''The Great Lunar Expedition for Everyone (GLEE)'''] which is an 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 a new generation of space missions and explorers.<br/> <br \/> The [https://wwww.facebook.com/HamclubIITB/ '''Ham Radio Club, IIT Bombay'''] is also part of IITBSSP, which aims to maintain a functional ground station and encourage amateur radio activities in the institute. It organises an annual [https://www.aero.iitb.ac.in/satlab/gsWS.php '''Groundstation Workshop'''] for engineering colleges around the country to encourage them to set up their own ground station.
