PISAT is imaging satellite being developed by students from consortium of engineering colleges led by PES University. PES Imaging Satellite (PISAT) is a Low cost three axis stabilized imaging satellite with pointing accuracy of ±5 degrees about Yaw, Roll and Pitch axis and body rates of ±0.05 degrees/sec. It will be placed at an altitude of 720 kilometres with an inclination of 97.886 degrees and in Polar sun synchronous orbit. The principal objective of satellite telemetry is to provide mission data as well as information for operational use, failure analysis, and to predict spacecraft performance. The aim of the mission is operationalization of 3‐axis stabilized spacecraft, to capture images and process it. PISAT is designed to receive S‐band FSK/FM modulated signal, demodulate and extract the commands sent from ground. System engineering concepts have been extensively used in the development of PISAT and students have benefited in getting good hands on experience on system engineering.
