Recent development of nano-satellite constellation as iot communication platform

Abstract

The Key market player sectors are Agriculture, Healthcare, Space and under water Sciences, Multi-Model logistics etc. The robust Internet-of-Things systems are used to exchange the sensor data and actuator control information across network infrastructures. Over several years satellite technologies are used to serve to ever- increasing demands of wireless communication in terms of volume of traffic and quality of communication services. Satellite has many subsystems; few of them are Attitude and orbit control subsystem, Thermal control. Tracking, telemetry, command and monitoring subsystem, Power subsystem, Communication subsystems, Antennas and Bus subsystem, Ground Station subsystems, Space Qualification subsystem etc. Long Range communication has also started to contribute to applications in the space sector. This paper proposes a concept that allows continuous monitoring of remote application in nano-satellite constellations by implementing an analogue of an existing open platform network called LoRa Wide Area Network in the constellations making their own LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network). Such a network among satellites allows the tracking and monitoring of IoT data over the satellite network. The role of Machine- to-Machine and Internet of market applications in satellite technology, which is now having annual revenue of $1.5 billion, is expected to reach $5.8 million in-service satellite by 2023. The Main performance parameters of IoT-Satellite consortium for value propositions are going to be Lowest Cost, Lowest Energy, Global and Secure availability, Dedicated Networks, Speed, Reliability and System Continuing Integration etc. The satellite based applications leading the market in space sector and provides the opportunities for increase in revenue in space sector.
