Miniature Satellite System for Earth Observation and Data Collection
In recent times, Satellite technology evolution and data-based technology manipulation are made essential for real time tracking and monitoring. This project relies on collecting real time data by designing a small nanosatellite popularly named Cube Shaped Satellite (CubeSat). This satellite is a demonstration for low-earth orbit. Since this CubeSat design is a framework of atmospheric environmental monitoring which includes sensors for parameters include temperature, position and location of satellite, air condition, pressure monitoring. The pressure at altitudes can be tolerated with different materials based on requirement. These sensors are connected through a mini microcontroller and can be accessed easily. Instead of metallic cube boxes, either use polymers or graphite. The project provides low-cost and student friendly approach whereas we can access them remotely with the help of a drone. Here, the nano satellite is for student supportive and research purposes, where the goal is to capture, process and acquire geographical data. After the complete CubeSat designing and testing, it can be integrated with advanced systems that can provide efficient result work as a part of engineering and data science in real-time. Also, this project will explore the students and engineers to acquire valuable data in different low earth orbiting altitudes.
