The mission aims to

  1. Technically demonstrate the use of satellites to periodically track the movements of boundary beacons in game reserves and other protected areas,
  2. Monitor environmental parameters to provide pollution related to biodiversity conversation and climate change mitigation efforts.
  3. Capture low resolution earth images.

Our project meets RR 1.56. The mission is designed for capacity building, intercommunication, and technical research by offering opportunities for hands-on engagement with satellite technology, Our project employs space stations on Earth satellites for amateur radio purposes.

This includes facilitating communications that align with the aims of the amateur service Contribution to the Advancement of Amateur Satellite Service the project will 1) Share the research findings through established National Research Centers 2) Contribute to the analysis of uses and propose advancement 3) Provide Awareness programs targeting INP-HB students, staff, and volunteers.
