InQube is a 1U technology demonstration satellite, and is also the first open-source satellite of India.[1][2][3][4] It is designed and built by Paradox Sonic Space Research Association. InQube's mission is to prove the efficiency of a COTS powered satellite bus in the low earth orbit.

The satellite was said to be launched in December 2022 by the Indian Space Research Organisation.[1]

Mission[edit]

The primary mission of InQube is to prove the accessibility of space to the masses through both demonstration of a COTS powered CubeSat and educational outreach through the philosophy of open source.[5]

To further the primary mission, InQube is meant to record various space weather parameters of magnetosphere and understand the in-orbit inertial conditions onboard the bus through the demonstration of a passive attitude control method.[6]

Funding[edit]

The development and launch of this satellite is funded by Mercatus Center and Amateur Radio Digital Communications.[7][8]
