When in orbit, it will aid an investigation on the brightness oscillations of massive luminous starts with a magnitude of 3.5 using a high-resolution optical camera. The satellite will provide exceptionally accurate photometric data, which cannot be obtained from Earth because of our atmosphere. <\/p>\n<p>Developed by Graz University of Technology, TUGSAT-1 will launch as a secondary payload on the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
