X-Sat is a microsatellite developed and built by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in collaboration with Defence Science Organisation (DSO) Singapore.^[1] The satellite was launched by ISRO's PSLV-C16 on 20 April 2011 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre FLPinSriharikota, India. The satellite was launched along with Indian ResourceSat-2 and Indo-Russian YouthSat.^[2]

Project Objectives[edit]

Create an affordable microsatellite bus that can conduct remote sensing operations in situations close to real-time.
To increase the nation's capacity (resources and infrastructure) for satellite engineering
To encourage academic interest in this field's R&D^[3]
