Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has launched more than hundred satellites for various applications like communication, Earth observation, Astronomy, Navigation, Lunar studies and interplanetary mission from its inception.Addition to its own programmes, it induced Indian student community to make satellites by guiding, providing facilities to test the subsystems and satellites.It also launches these satellites by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).The student satellite projects provide the design, fabrication, assembly and testing experience of electrical and mechanical systems to university students.It provides experience in project management, budget, schedule and mission planning & operation also.Indian students have launched more than nine satellites so far and some more are under development.Due to this inspiration many Universities/Colleges had flown their satellites through balloons for testing their capabilities.Some students launched their satellites through other space agencies also.This paper presents the salient features of these satellites and technologies used in Indian Student satellites.
