Kalam SAT
Kalam SAT was an experimental student payload flown under Cubes in Space program by a STEM-based education program by Idoodle Learning.Inc and NASA. It is named after former Indian president Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam and was built by an Indian High school student team. As selected student competitors, the team won an opportunity to design experiments to be launched into space on a NASA rocket. Kalam SAT was launched on suborbital trajectory by NASA along with 59 other experiments on Terrier Orion sounding rocket on 22 June 2017 from Wallops Island flight facility in Virginia. Each experiment weighed less than 64 grams and fitted in a 3.8 centimeters cube.
The probe was built by seven Students from Space Kidz India, a company based in Chennai, as a part of a ‘Cubes in Space’ competition.
