What is it about?
With interest in small satellites growing, universities are expanding on their own satellite projects. SRMSAT - 2 is one such university class satellite on a mission to moon. This paper discusses the feasibility and a likely design for such a mission.

Why is it important?
We show that a university class satellite beyond the regimes of earth is possible, laying foundations for future missions in the same lines.
Perspectives
The SRMSAT-2 is a brilliant project and it is quite a challenge for undergraduate students to work on space mission beyond the earth. These problems, however, have been tackled and a feasibility study is presented. This was our very first design and we improved over this dramatically.

Enjoying and educating opportunity to the undergraduates especially the new entrants at second semester level. It exposes the Lagrangian points and the manifolds existing in the Earth Moon, Sun Earth space and the grand tours the smalls could make their travels with advanced technology developments.
