Abstract

Student-built space missions offer prospects to commence small space missions with small financial budgets. The significant outcome along with technical intrinsic worth is the cross-disciplinary training for students that endow a future career in the space industry. The experience in learning and working with hands-on, project-based education proves effective for talent management among the student community. Programs such as the CubeSat standard have dramatically changed spacecraft engineering education, fostering aerospace education resulting in designing and building small satellites. The paper explores the proliferation of the status of the University/College supported student-built space missions over the last years and the various levels of applications of small satellite platforms in India. Moreover, how the student satellite projects translated into useful small satellite commercial missions is also discussed.
