  • Abstract
    A satellite basically any object that revolves around a planet in a circular or elliptical orbit path. Nano satellites are satellites that weigh less than 10Kg. These types of satellites are designed and developed to carry payloads that are much smaller and has a life span not more than 1 year generally. Sathyabama University has taken up a task of designing and developing a nano satellite for pollution monitoring. This nano satellite named “SATHYABAMA SATELLITE” is designed to detect the presence of green house gases in the atmosphere and to map them in the later stage. This paper gives a comprehensive view of the structural design and development of such a nano satellite.
