Constellation for a ship-tracking payload and will be used to validate the use case of employing nanosatellites in ocean vessel detection through the automatic identification system (AIS) protocol. Additionally, the satellite will carry medium resolution imagers as a secondary payload to demonstrate the feasibility of using a nanosatellite for imaging applications, such as ocean colour monitoring and fire tracking. S-Band Transmitter. ADCS System Developed by ESL at Stellenbosch University. L-Band Receiver. HF Beacon Payload. 5 MP Camera Payload. Detecting wildfires with a k-line Imager (Potassium Imager). Payload is a k-line imager developed by the CSIR and provides a method of detecting smaller fires (90 m2) more effectively. This data will be implemented into AFIS, which is the data delivery mechanism for this project.
