Design Thinking Approach to Fabrication of Meteorology Tracking CUBESAT

Abstract

In the past decade’s satellites played a crucial role in enabling global communication through TV, phone and internet transmission. Additionally, they were used for navigation, mapping, weather forecasting, disaster response and military intelligence. However, these traditional satellites are expensive to build, launch and maintain which can limit the number of satellites in orbit and the frequency of updates. The interest is to design an autonomous NANO satellite which can provide the information of weather from anywhere anytime. It is possible to provide an instant weather report which can be used to compare the data of a place with some different altitude as well as for different times. With the advancement of technology, especially Micro Electrical Mechanical Systems and Data acquisition systems, the problem of large set up area and cost has been reduced significantly. Nano satellites can be set up at home as well as in the atmosphere or in space which can provide accurate weather reports.
