ISRO may hand over Jugnu control to IITians soon


KANPUR: The communication room of the ground station at IIT-Kanpur which is meant for monitoring and controlling the nano-satellite, Jugnu, is functional but the satellite is being controlled by Indian Space Research Organisation's Bangalore centre at present.
Students associated with Jugnu are busy in tracking the satellite from communication room. They are sacrificing their sleep as Jugnu is visible over Kanpur between 12 midnight and 7 am. It is expected that in the next three days, the students would receive the control from ISRO and then it would be monitored from ground station itself.
