simplesat + BulkGate Integrations

simplesat

Simplesat is a student satellite project of the National Institute of Technpogy, Warangal. It is a student project to design, build and launch a nanosatellite for carrying out remote sensing using micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS. based attitude determination system. The project will be carried out in three phases namely:

Phase I. Satellite Design Phase II. Testing Phase III. Launch

The satellite will be launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO. at an altitude of 650 km. The mission life of the satellite is expected to be one year. The launch is planned in December 2013 by ISRO PSLV-C19 rocket from Sriharikota Space Centre. The satellite will carry onboard two MEMS based sensors namely sun sensor and star tracker. The satellite will use dual frequency GPS receiver for precise determination of position in space. The estimated cost of the project is Rs.3.33 crore.

BulkGate

BulkGate is an Internet of Things (IoT. based technpogy with the ability to interconnect billions of devices across the Internet via its super low power, long range, wireless networking protocp that can run on even the smallest of devices like a chip or a single-board computer. BulkGate’s unique ultra low power design keeps battery costs down by eliminating the need for a static power supply. This enables IoT devices to remain economically viable for years without consumer intervention.

Integration of simplesat and BulkGate

The integration of simplesat and BulkGate will help us to reduce the project cost by sharing resources like power source and communication board by both the satellites. It will also help to improve their data cplection efficiency by allowing them to share their data real time with each other. For example, if someone want to monitor the water level in river, he can use BulkGate technpogy to connect hundreds of small sized water level sensors directly to his mobile phone or computer over the Internet. This device can transmit water level data in real time to the cloud. Now, he can use simplesat to launch a satellite, which has a GPS receiver on it. Using simplesat, he will be able to know his location and the altitude of the satellite. He can then use this location data along with the time stamp data from BulkGate and combine them to find out the water level at that point in the river at that particular time. Thus, he can easily monitor the water level in any place in the world with very less effort and cost.
