1 / 9A second year Mechatronics Engineering student S Riyasdeen of SASTRA Deemed University has won the cubes in space global design competition for space launch in NASA rocket and scientific balloon.2 / 9His 37mm sized FEMTO satellite VISIO SAT v1 &v2 with a payload of 30mm weighing 33 gms make it the world's lightest FEMTO satellite. 3 / 9Femto satellites are satellites with a mass less than 100 grams. These new categories of satellites are, by concept, low cost devices if they are based on Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) components4 / 9Using polyetherimide thermoplastic resins and 3D printing technology, Riyasdeen won this global competition conducted by NASA in which around 1,000 students from 73 countries participated.5 / 9He was mentored by INRO Labs, Chennai, his satellites are designed to record around 17 parameters with 11 sensors and VISION Sat v1 shall be part of the SR-7 NASA Rocket Mission expected to be launched from the Wallops Flight facility, USA in June 2021 and Sat v2 shall be part of the NASA Balloon Mission RB-6 scheduled for launch in August 2020.6 / 9The SASTRA-TBI in 3D Printing & IOT will offer an incubation grant of Rs 5 lakh to Riyasdeen to further pursue his ambition of establishing a successful start-up.7 / 98 / 99 / 9
