Four Chennai Students designed World’s Lightest Satellite ’Jaihind-1S’, which weighs

A	55.39 grams
B	64.39 grams
C	33.39 grams
D	47.39 grams

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The first-year engineering students from Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science near Chennai built the 4cm ‘cube’ satellite ‘Jaihind-1S’ with a 3D printed outer casing from polylactic acid (PLA) nylon material, making it lighter than a medium sized egg, at just 33.39 grams.

Detailed explanation-2: -Named as Kalamsat, after former President APJ Abdul Kalam, the tiny satellite weighs around 64 grams. India, on Thursday, created history after NASA launched the world’s smallest satellite, built by 18-year old Tamil Nadu student Rifath Sharook and his team.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Kalamsat-V2 weighs only 1.26kg! So if you take a 1kg bag of sugar and add a quarter of its weight - that weighs the same as this satellite!
