As Co-founder Kshitji Khandelwal said, ” We are working on microsatellite which will help us to collect data and monitor different types of things happening day-by-day”. The Satellite will collect data on  Agriculture by which Farmers can increase the yield of their crops. As in India, agriculture is done on a mixed pattern of crops. So, the satellite will work to collect and show data to farmers by which they can use different types of methods to fix the crop yield.  So, Farmers can access all these data from a platform and also the sensor that is equipped on the Satellite will help in recognizing species and disease.

As Co-founder Kshiji Khandelwal said that,” their satellite will go in space by the Russian Soyuz as they are small space agencies and they have not sufficient funds by which they can send it to space by own”. So, the satellite will be launch in June 2020. As we all know that sending a satellite to space is very costlier so it is a problem for anyone to send it by own fund that why only large organizations can afford it. So, they are sending their satellite by the Russian Soyuz.
