KalamSAT include its 64 g weight and 3.8 cm3 size, allowing it to fit into the palm of one’s hand. It was built using the 3D printing method with reinforced carbon fiber polymer, an extremely resilient yet light fiber enforced plastic that contains plastic fibers. A nano Geiger Muller counter was mounted on the satellite, an instrument used to measure radiation during the mission in space. Also included were several other sensors to measure rotation, temperature, humidity, pressure, acceleration and the magnetosphere of the earth. KalamSAT is a femto satellite. These are small satellites with a weight of less and 0.1 kg, including fuel and payload. Technically, it was deployed as a technology demonstrator satellite as it did not reach orbit but flew a sub-orbital trajectory. This is because although the satellite reached space, it fell back to Earth before completing the full orbit.

Thank you…
