India Planned as Launch Site for Estonia's First Satellite
Estonia's first orbital satellite will likely blast off next year from India
The satellite developed by a group of Tartu and Tallinn students is to test a solar sail invented by Helsinki University professor Pekka Janhunen, ETV reported.
Mart Noorma, a teacher at the University of Tartu, says the best offer for launching the satellite has come from India. The launching would cost 60,000 euros, said Noorma.
The satellite weighs one kilogram to save on the volume - the biggest limit on cost.
