We're pleased to announce our first orbital mission as "InQube", a single unit nano-satellite which will be deployed into a Polar Lower Earth Sun-Synchronous Orbit. The satellite will demonstrate the capability of inexpensive in-house built subsystems in harsh space environment.

The satellite EM, QM and FM are built from scratch without using any pre-built buses or subsystems. None of the electronics are flight heritage, instead are off-the-shelf but they were chosen finely with respect to harsh weather conditions of the orbit.

The satellite will study the weather ranges of ionosphere, performing earth from space imaging, calculate inertia onboard the bus for an extended period of time. Addition of more payloads will be done in coming months.

Once launched, we'll make the whole satellite bus open-source including its hardware and software. Therefore, it'll become the "India's First Open-Source Satellite".

The satellite will downlink 70cm amateur radio signals through its primary radio transceiver onboard containing texts and scientific data. Downlinks will be public but Uplinks will be secured by encryptions such as one-time and passcodes.

For the primary downlinks, we'll use SatNOGS Ground Station, generously developed for us by ORION Space and AMSAT Nepal

On September 16th, Onkar Singh Batra (CEO, PSSR) visited the Department of Space at New Delhi to discuss the launch possibilities onboard forthcoming PSLV flight through Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). We're highly thankful to the Office of Honorable Dr Jitendra Singh (Minister of Space, I/C) for their kind support in making links with DoS and ISRO in this regard.

The first artistic designs of InQube are attached with this post.

"Creativity is Intelligence having fun"

We are feeling extremely proud and grateful to announce our recent collaboration with International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition - 2021. In order to carry out the SpaceEdu Project of PSSR, which is underpinned by the International Space Education Hub (ISEH) we have thus collaborated with IAAC for providing an international exposure of science to the student community within Asia, Africa and Australia.

Thank you International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition for this opportunity! We are truly humbled.

An international team of scientists has collected the first possible radio signal from a planet beyond our solar system, emanating from an exoplanet system about 51 light-years away. Using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), a radio telescope in the Netherlands, the researchers uncovered emission bursts from the Tau Bootes star-system hosting a so-called hot Jupiter, a gaseous giant planet that is very close to its own sun.

Congratulations NASA!

NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has confirmed, for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the Moon. This discovery indicates that water may be distributed across the lunar surface, and not limited to cold, shadowed places.

SOFIA has detected water molecules (H2O) in Clavius Crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth, located in the Moon’s southern hemisphere. Previous observations of the Moon’s surface detected some form of hydrogen, but were unable to distinguish between water and its close chemical relative, hydroxyl (OH). Data from this location reveal water in concentrations of 100 to 412 parts per million – roughly equivalent to a 12-ounce bottle of water – trapped in a cubic meter of soil spread across the lunar surface. The results are published in the latest issue of Nature Astronomy.

“We had indications that H2O – the familiar water we know – might be present on the sunlit side of the Moon,” said Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Now we know it is there. This discovery challenges our understanding of the lunar surface and raises intriguing questions about resources relevant for deep space exploration.”

As a comparison, the Sahara desert has 100 times the amount of water than what SOFIA detected in the lunar soil. Despite the small amounts, the discovery raises new questions about how water is created and how it persists on the harsh, airless lunar surface.

Water is a precious resource in deep space and a key ingredient of life as we know it. Whether the water SOFIA found is easily accessible for use as a resource remains to be determined. Under NASA’s Artemis program, the agency is eager to learn all it can about the presence of water on the Moon in advance of sending the first woman and next man to the lunar surface in 2024 and establishing a sustainable human presence.
