To mark India's historic 75th year of independence, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will launch a satellite dubbed 'AzadiSAT' developed by 750 girl students from 75 schools across India.
The project is part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.
The satellite will be launched using the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) on its maiden mission on August 7.
The AzadiSat, apart from celebrating India's 75th year of Independence, is a symbol of women's empowerment.
The AzadiSAT will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 9:18am on Sunday. The satellite weighs 8kg and will have 75 payloads weighing 50g each.
The AzadiSAT will be launched alongside the 145kg Earth Observation 2 satellite by the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) on its maiden trip.
