AstroSats

AstroSats are a class of small satellites designed for astronomical observations. They are typically characterized by their low cost, short development time, and the ability to be launched as secondary payloads on larger missions. These satellites are often used for educational purposes, technology demonstration, and scientific research. AstroSats can be equipped with various instruments such as telescopes, spectrometers, and photometers, depending on the specific mission objectives. They operate in low Earth orbit, providing a stable platform for astronomical observations. The data collected by AstroSats can be used to study a wide range of astronomical phenomena, including stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. The use of AstroSats has democratized access to space-based astronomy, allowing researchers and students from around the world to participate in space missions.
