The Anna University Satellite, or ANUSAT was an Indian student research

GMT (06:45 IST

) on 20 April 2009.

The satellite's development was sponsored by the

launch services.^[3]

ANUSAT was a cube with 23-inch (580 mm) long sides, and a mass of 38 kilograms (84 lb).

spin axis is pointed normal towards the Sun. The satellite was integrated and tested at MICSAT, the MIT

Chromepet clean room.

As on January 9, 2012, ANUSAT completed 15287 orbits around the Earth thereby exceeding its intended mission life of two years.[5]
