The satellite will look down at the earth from around 867 km low earth orbit and is expected to enable the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to forecast weather in a more precise manner.
The three nano satellites that are being ferried by the PSLV are the 10.9-kg SRMSAT built by the students of SRM University near Chennai, the three-kg remote sensing satellite Jugnu from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur, and the 28.7-kg VesselSat from Luxembourg to locate ships on high seas.
