ISRO Will Launch "InQube," India's First Open-Source Satellite, In December

Onkar Batra, a student in Class 12 at the BSF Senior Secondary School in Jammu, has designed India's first open-source satellite, "InQube," which will be launched this month with support from the Indian Space Agency, ISRO. The Paradox Sonic Space Research Agency developed this satellite, InQube.

Onkar Batra provided information on his project, stating that the satellite weighs one kilogramme and was created using nanotechnology. According to a news agency, the price to launch it in India ranges from Rs 20 to Rs 80 lakh, however in foreign countries, the price might reach crores. Every satellite that is launched into space has a unique mission, he continued.

InQube contains two more missions:

• Whether a satellite that light can work in space
• The other will measure the local temperature in order to inform scientists of the local weather and how challenging it will be to launch a satellite into space.

Along with running Basra Technology, Onkar Batra serves as its Chief Executive Officer. His creation of an interactive website for COVID-19 in 2020 earned him the National Ball Shakti Award from the then-President of India, Ram Nath Kovind. With the support of doctors, the Government Medical College Jammu created the Quaidcare website, which enabled up to fifty individuals to contact a doctor at once.

At the age of seven, Batra created his first website and entered himself as the World's Youngest Webmaster in the Guinness Book of World Records (male). He wrote his book "When The Time Stops" at the age of 12, making him the youngest theoretical author in history. In 2018 he founded Batra Technologies, then in 2019 he founded United India Publishing.
