Launcher	not launched
Entity name	Antarikchya Pratisthan Nepal
Institution	University
Entity	Academic / Education
Nation	Nepal
Partners	Kyushu Institute of Technology
Oneliner	Slippers2Sat will be a technological demonstration and educational satellite following Munal.
Description	Slippers2Sat will be a technological demonstration 1U and also educational satellite. It follows the footsteps of Munal satellite developed by Antarikchya Pratisthan Nepal and also is heavily inspired by the BIRDS series of CubeSats developed in Kyushu Institute of Technology. Slippes2Sat shall house the NXT GEN CUBUS, made in Nepal by Nepalese engineers. The satellite project will have two parallel missions, one in the education sector and the other in technological demonstration. Along with that, the on board computer will also use the PX4 operating system predominantly used for drone operating systems. Antarikchya Pratisthan Nepal intends to employ a modular, plug-and-play system for 1U CubeSat. Software Digipeater Mission (S-DP).The Software Digipeater is a text based mission that will facilitate the amateur radio community with the use of the resources of existing NXT_GEN_CUBUS Technology Demonstration Slippers2Sat will be a technological demonstration 1U and also educational satellite.

Software Digipeater Mission (S-DP) - The Software Digipeater is a text based mission that will facilitate the amateur radio community with the use of the resources of existing NXT_GEN_CUBUS Imaging Mission (CAM) - An imaging mission which will employ two cameras (NIR and RGB) to take the images of the earth and also calculate Normalized Differential Water Index (NDWI). The image taken by the satellite will be easily accessible and will be uploaded on the project website. Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) - An ADCS that will use magnetorquers to stabilize the satellite and also help Antarikchya Pratisthan Nepal to plan future missions involving constellations. Earthquake Precursors Detection Mission (EPDM) The EPDM will detect ELF/ ULF to observe and detect earthquake precursors.
