The Amateur Radio Payload for Information Transmission (ARPIT), created by the SJC Institute of Technology, will be a key part of the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) upcoming SpaDeX payload. Set to launch from Sriharikota on Monday night, this innovative experiment is a collaboration between the students and the institute, marking a significant milestone in space exploration.
ARPIT is one of 24 payloads aboard the PSLV satellite and has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with space. If successful, it will enable ordinary citizens, like those of ISRO, to connect with satellites and engage in communication via chat, audio, video, and even share photographs.
SJCIT principal, Raju, highlighted the transformative possibilities this experiment holds for amateur radio enthusiasts and space technology. A dedicated team from the institute is already at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, eagerly awaiting the launch to witness this historic event.
The success of ARPIT could open up new frontiers, allowing public participation in satellite communications, marking a monumental shift in spacefaring.
