SRMSAT is a Nanosatellite built by students at Sri Ramaswamy Memorial University (SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai) in India. The satellite is an Indian Technology demonstration and Earth observation satellite which is operated by the SRM Institute of Science and Technology. This nanosatellite was used to monitor Greenhouse gases in atmosphere.
SRMSAT's primary mission was the development of a nanosatellite platform for future missions. Its secondary mission was monitoring of greenhouse gasses[1] using an Argus Spectrometer.[2]
