The Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET) has proposed to launch its first student nano-satellite, “Thaparsat”, to be installed in the low earth orbit.

The satellite operations will focus on the real-time monitoring of pollution caused by greenhouse gases, measurement of soil moisture content in Punjab and northern India, and regular monitoring of methane gas across the Indian sub-continent.
