The ability to communicate with ships even in areas where there is no coverage.

Description

The Maritime Identification and Communication systEm (MICE-1), developed by Prisma Electronic’s, will specifically boost maritime tracking in the Mediterranean Sea.

The ability to communicate with ships even in areas where there is no coverage.

Our nanosatellite, by collecting data from Internet of Things devices all over the planet, will create an alternative communication channel, independent of available commercial systems.

Track shipping in the Aegean Sea via automatic identification system signal reception and gather data from devices developed by Prisma Electronics to monitor and analyse maritime vessel operating parameters. It will be delivered in partnership between Prisma Electronics and the Democritus University of Thrace.

Launched on board SpaceX’s Transporter 15 mission, the satellite will have an antenna and receiver for the automated identification system, namely the ‘tag’ ships use to be identified. It will also have a LAROS system transceiver (a device that receives and transmits signals), developed by the same company, which ensures secure communications between ships, or other critical infrastructure, and the satellite. This transceiver will receive data about the health status of various systems on board each ship, which is tracked and centralised using the LAROS system.
