Its goal is to capture images of Earth either from a low Earth orbit or at an altitude of 510 kilometers.
The satellite has a number of circuit boards that will keep track of mission command back on Earth, maintain power, and control the camera.
Due to a limited speed, the photographs sent may be compressed.
All the circuit boards were laid out and connected to one another as the dish was being constructed. They are therefore stacked inside the vehicle, or the primary body of the telescope.
An architectural design and a copy called the flight design, which will be sent into space, have been created in two versions.
After council and testing, the nanosatellite may be loaded into a big pot, which can hold up to 16 spacecraft.
The crucial time occurs when the nanosatellite is deployed in place: the Singapore team may attempt to connect with the dish for the first time.
If effective, they will be able to see the picture of Earth from their computer screens.
SPACE INDUSTRY
The group’s teacher-in-charge Andre Jusuf said such tasks help create the students ‘ enthusiasm for emerging areas.  ,
” We want to encourage our kids to be enthusiastic in architecture as well as satellite-related systems, and also to shape the future of knowledge in mathematics and science”, he said.
Mr Ng Zhen Ning, founder and CEO of local aviation company NuSpace, is the player’s leader.
In light of the growing demand for space designers, he said caring students is crucial to Singapore’s plans for a space industry.
We should be inspiring and engaging the next generation of leaders to do a job in STEM. If we don’t do such stuff, we may have labor shortage problems in the future”, said Mr Ng, referring to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
” Hopefully, when they graduate, they may visit the place market here in Singapore”.
The small satellite is only a small stage for the NUS High School group.
They are hoping to make a huge step toward a more ambitious goal of creating a third telescope that will be three times as big in the near future.
