About

The SS AMU SAT project is an initiative by the Students and Alumni of Zakir Husain College of Engineering and Technology. The project was concieved during a discussion among a small group of students and alumni during the Winters of 2021, at the AMU RoboClub.
Finally, in the early week of December, 2021, this project kick-started after everal rounds of discussions. It is pertinent to mention that there has also been an observation of the NAAC committee, that visited in December 2021, to innovate in the area of Aerial Technology; and thus, the timing of this project could never have been more suited.
In the weeks to come, the team grew from a handful to a dozen, to design the following subsystems:

Electrical Power System

Payload

Attitude Determination and Control System

Communication Systems

Many alumni have been called in for help and guidance. Experts from ISRO and people with prior experience in satellite design have been helping to make this project a success, and eventually commissioning in the Lower Earth Orbit (LEO).

Objective

The vision of SS AMU SAT is to raise awareness and educate the students in the field of Space Technology and create an ecosystem for Satellite Development.

The primary objective of this is to demonstrate a Novel Image Compression Technique to establish a faster multimedia transmission. Additionally, the project aims to monitor the economic growth of our Nation using Satellite Imagery and a novel machine learning algorithm. The acquired data shall be compared with the existing economic data available on public domain and any deviation will be duly evaluated and reported. This system shall bridge the gap between theoritical implementation and the actual outcome of economic policies. It is planned to make all the raw data available in public domain for researchers, economists and data scientists.

In addition to the above, this project shall also serve as a platform to test the in-house built components such as - ADCS Bus, Payload Bus, EPS Bus and the 3U Satellite Bus.
