The Aeronautical Society of India, in collaboration with IN SPACE (the technical unit of ISRO) and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), organized a competition for engineering college students across India. The competition aimed to design, fabricate, test, and launch a satellite using commercially available components. Students of NMIT from the Departments of Aeronautical Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering built the NMIT SAT for this event. The team successfully defended several critical evaluations, including the Preliminary Design Review, Critical Design Review, Mission Readiness Review, and Flight Readiness Review. Meeting all these requirements, the NMIT SAT was launched on April 16, 2024, from Ahmedabad. The satellite reached an altitude of 3000 feet, after which it was ejected and began its descent at a velocity of 10 meters per second. Upon reaching 2000 feet, a second parachute deployed, slowing the descent to 3 meters per second. The satellite ultimately landed approximately 800 meters away from the ground station. All data from the satellite's payload, including temperature, pressure, gas constituents, altitude, and camera footage, were successfully received at the ground station. The gyro control unit, control system module, descent control parachute, and ground station for data transmission and reception were designed by the students of NMIT. The team's efforts were commended by the Chairman of ISRO, the Chairman of the technical unit of ISRO, the Principal of NMIT, and the Administrator of NMIT
