we start dancing with happiness. We will organize a celebration for all students who were a
part of the project soon, Khaladkar added.
The landlines in the college
have not stopped ringing. We
have been getting calls since
morning. The WhatsApp messages are pouring in from various quarters. This was possible
only because of the students.
Anil Sahasrabudhe had tears in
his eyes when he heard of the
launch. It was under his leadership at CoEP that the project
was approved eight years ago,
Sandeep Meshram, a faculty
member at CoEP, said.
Sahasrabudhe, the current
chairman of All India Council
for Technical Education, was
the director of CoEP.
The satellite has a revolution period of 90 minutes and
will pass over Pune four times.
Twice, the strength to transmit
and receive the signal will be good and it will be average for the
other two times.
Acustomized hardware and
protocol have been designed by
the students to send and receive
signals via Swayam. It has been
given to 10 people in different countries. The ground station will
be monitored continuously by
the students during every pass.
Girish Baj, a student who is
part of the project, said, The
first pass over Pune was at around 11am. The satellite has been
programmed to send a signal
every 90 seconds. We got about
six signals from the satellite
which is the maximum that can
happen during a particular
pass. The first six bytes of data
said SWAYAM and the next six
bytes gave us the parameters of
the satellite. Everything is fine
as of now.
It will take another 10-15 days for the satellite to stabilize
and reliably act as a point-to-point messenger. We will be starting the trials from the pass at
9.30pm on Wednesday. But whatever information we receive
will not be considered reliable.
It will happen only after 10-15 days after which uploading and
downloading of data will happen, added Baj.

kie-talkie can receive and hear messages if tuned into the messages frequency level, but certification is required to transmit it to someone. The
licence must be obtained from the
Amateur Station Operators Certificate (ASOC) examination conducted
by the Wireless and Planning and Coordination Wing (WPC) of the ministry of communications and information technology.
The radio communication channel is useful during emergencies, students said. During the Nepal earthquake, none of the cell towers were
working. Hence, all communication
