Changes

After the successful launch of the first satellite of IIT Bombay, Pratham, it was felt that the knowledge and the experience accumulated by the Pratham team over the years should be systematically preserved for the future teams. In parallel, we were approached by several students who were seeking help in starting off a Student Satellite Project in their own college/university. Strongly motivated by our social goal to spread our knowledge, we were looking for a method for helping aspiring students in a detailed manner without compromising with the work of IITBSSP. These requirements led to the birth of this Satellite 101 wiki. Since the team began working on IIT Bombay's second satellite, Advitiy around the time this idea was born, we decided to maintain this wiki in parallel to our work on Advitiy so that it can keep evolving with our experience.

Attempts have been made to keep this wiki as general as possible, so as not to bias the viewer in any way towards any particular design. You can expect the following from this wiki:
