ISRO Nano Satellites (INS) is a versatile and modular Nano satellite bus system envisioned for future science and experimental payloads. With a capability to carry up to 3 kg of payload and a total satellite mass of 11 kg, it offers immense opportunities for future use. The INS system is developed as a co-passenger satellite to accompany bigger satellites on PSLV launch vehicle. Its primary objectives include providing a standard satellite bus for launch on demand services and providing opportunity to carry innovative payloads.

The primary objectives of INS system are to:

• Design and develop a low cost modular Nano satellite.
• Provide an opportunity for ISRO technology demonstration payloads.
• Provide a standard bus for launch on demand services.
• Provide a standard bus for launch on demand services.
• Provide an opportunity to carry innovative payloads for Universities / R&D laboratories.
