About
SABHASAT is presented as India’s inaugural gamma-ray energy burst detection observatory, built upon a CubeSat platform. It features a futuristic and sleek design, incorporating technology specifically developed to enable the detection of low and medium energy Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) originating from the high-energy transient sky. The CubeSat is equipped with solar panels and a dedicated payload unit. Its compact size is highlighted by a comparison to larger observatories like ASTROSAT, Fermi Observatory, Swift GRB Mission, and Compton Observatory, emphasizing a remarkable average of 99.8% size reduction. The project aims for a launch in 2026 and has a projected timeline of 5 years.
