PISAT is configured to have TT&C links in the standard TT&C S-band. The operating frequencies are selected to avoid interference to and from the assigned and currently used frequencies of satellites as well as the launch vehicle – PSLV.

ISRO has been kind enough to allot the planned set of frequencies for telemetry and telecommand links of PISAT. TT&C RF system of PISAT facilitates command reception, telemetry and payload data transmission

The onboard RF system comprises of one non coherent receiver, one transmitter, omni antenna system and associated filters, power combiner and divider.

A dedicated satellite control facility has been installed at PES University campus. Applied for ground station permission from WPC. WPC to grant permission after ISRO completes action of filling satellite frequency papers.

Other SubSystems

EPS >

Battery tied bus being the simplest power system configurations, has been selected for its minimal complexity.

ADCS >

PISAT is configured as a three axis stabilized satellite to meet the pointing and stability requirements of the Imaging payload.
