In the Atal Satellite Competition, each team will get a special kit to build their own mini-satellite. The kit is designed in a way that even beginners can learn step by step. It has everything needed to collect data, control small parts, send information to the ground, and safely land with the help of a parachute.

What’s Inside the kit:

A small brain (control unit) that teams will program to run their satellite.
Sensors to measure things like height, direction, movement, and weather conditions.
Small moving parts (actuators) to perform simple tasks.
Material to design and make a parachute for safe landing.
A battery system to give power to the satellite.
Communication parts to send data to the ground.
Tools and accessories to assemble everything.

What Teams Will Learn

Programming : Teams will learn how to write code in Arduino IDE. They will connect sensors to the control unit and see how data is collected.
Controlling Actions: Teams will learn how to use sensor readings to control small moving parts. Example: when the satellite reaches a certain height, it can release something or activate a parachute.
Parachute Design : Teams will learn how to calculate the right parachute size and spill hole. They will also get fabric to make their own parachute and test it with their satellite.
Communication: Teams will learn how the satellite sends information to Earth. Organizers will give them a ground station (antenna and software) to receive and see the satellite’s data..
Full System Experience : Teams will combine sensors, control unit, battery, communication, and parachute into one working system. They will test, troubleshoot, and finally launch their mini-satellite like a real mission.
