ANSWER: For HAM radio community
 
  • The mission objectives are to provide point to point messaging services to the HAM community.
  • The COEP Satellite (SWAYAM) project is aimed at developing a reliable bidirectional communications platform. Started in late 2008, the SWAYAM project revolves around the challenge of building a pico-satellite destined to orbit the Earth at a height of 500-800 km.
  • Payload of the Satellite is point to point packet communication with which a user can send and receive messages from one point to other point on the earth.
  • Scientific objective of the satellite is to demonstrate passive attitude control to stabilise and appropriately orient the satellite. This technique is being used for the first time on an Indian Satellite. Another objective is to provide Low earth orbit channel characterisation in UHF HAM band.
