This anniversary was being marked in 2022 by the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations throughout the country, and the CubeSat was part of this campaign.
The mission was created to give girls from lower-income backgrounds the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of spaceflight, as part of the United Nations theme of “women in space.” It gave a feeling of pride and importance to women when the satellite was launched[2] It carried 75 different payloads each weighing around 50 grams and conducting femto-experiments.
The payloads included a UHF-VHF transponder working in ham radio frequency to enable voice and data transmission for amateur radio operators, a solid state PIN diode-based radiation counter to measure the ionising radiation in its orbit, a long-range transponder and a selfie camera to take pictures of its solar panels and the Earth.
The ground system developed by ‘Space Kidz India’ was to be utilised for receiving the data from this satellite.
Other payloads remains unchanged from the original AzaadiSAT.AzaadiSAT-2 aims to measure various health data like temperature and reset count from 75 student experiments installed inside the satellite.
