The '''Anna University Satellite''', or '''ANUSAT''' was an Indian student research [[Microsatellite (spaceflight)|microsatellite]] designed, developed and integrated at Aerospace Engineering, [[Madras Institute of Technology]] (MIT), [[Chromepet]], [[Anna University]]. Students and faculty members of [[Madras Institute of Technology]] and [[College of Engineering, Guindy]] were involved in the design of ANUSAT. The project director of the ANUSAT was Dr. P. Dhanraj, CASR, Madras Institute of Technology, Chromepet.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.annauniv.edu/anusat/index.php |title=ANUSAT - Anna University Satellite |access-date=2014-10-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141009212656/http://www.annauniv.edu/anusat/index.php |archive-date=2014-10-09 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It carries an amateur radio and technology demonstration experiments. It was successfully Integrated at the clean room facility at MIT, Chrompet, Chennai and launched aboard a [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle#Operational|PSLV-CA]] designated [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle#Launch history|PSLV-C12]], along with [[RISAT-2]], from the [[Satish Dhawan Space Centre Second Launch Pad|Second Launch Pad]] at the [[Satish Dhawan Space Centre]]. The launch was carried out at 01:15 [[GMT]] (06:45 [[Indian Standard Time|IST]]) on 20 April 2009.<br />
<br />
The satellite's development was sponsored by the [[Indian Space Research Organisation]], who were also responsible for [[launch service provider|launch services]].<ref name="GSP">{{cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/anusat.htm|title=ANUSAT|last=Krebs|first=Gunter|publisher=Gunter's Space Page|access-date=2009-04-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090331092759/http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/anusat.htm| archive-date= 31 March 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref><br />

ANUSAT was a cube with {{convert|23|in||adj=on}} long sides, and a mass of {{convert|38|kg|}}.<ref name="EOP">{{cite web|url=http://directory.eoportal.org/get_announce.php?an_id=11735 |title=ANUSat (Anna University Microsatellite) |publisher=EOPortal |access-date=2009-04-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726033836/https://directory.eoportal.org/get_announce.php?an_id=11735 |archive-date=2011-07-26 }}</ref> It carried an amateur radio [[store and forward]] communications system, and also conducted technological research. This satellite was spin stabilized and [[spin axis]] is pointed normal towards the Sun. The satellite was integrated and tested at MICSAT, the [[Madras Institute of Technology|MIT]] Chromepet clean room.<br />
<br />
As on January 9, 2012, ANUSAT completed 15287 orbits around the Earth thereby exceeding its intended mission life of two years.<ref>{{Cite web|title=ANUSAT - Anna University Satellite|url=http://www.annauniv.edu/anusat/summary.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141016102138/http://www.annauniv.edu/anusat/summary.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2014-10-16|access-date=2021-04-25}}</ref><br />
