Thapar University Students Satellite (TUSSAT) project is an ambitious project taken up by students of Thapar University. The aim and objective of the project is to develop a fully functional, low cost, low mass microsatellite which can be made within a time frame of two years and launch it into orbit.

This project will enable students and faculty members to gain knowledge and to have hands on experience with a real satellite mission with collaboration of various departments of University. It will empower students with the skills to develop the Satellite through various phases of Design, Analysis, Fabrication and Testing until the Flight Model is made.

Students have been given a unique opportunity to participate in the design, implementation, integration and testing phases of the satellite project. The design of the satellite will be kept simple with more emphasis on reliability rather than precision as this will be our first mission.
