Kalamsat was the smallest satellite ever launched, which weighed a mere 64 grams and measured 3.8 cm on each side.
It was designed by an 18-year-old Indian student named Rifath Sharook and launched on June 22, 2017, through NASA's sounding rocket from Wallops Island.
It was named after former Indian President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. Its main goal was to test the performance of 3D-printed structures in space and measure space radiation. The total suborbital flight lasted 240 minutes.
