Abstract

“UGATU-SAT” microsatellite launching is scheduled on the end of 2008 in Ufa State Aviation Technical University. Basic parameters of the satellite: weight – 30 kg, dimensions - 750x350x400 mm, height of orbit - 600 km. Proactive operation time for this small satellite – three years. It supplies with optoelectronic system of remote sensing, including two multisensor cameras of visible color spectrum (four channels with spans 0.42-0.52 µm, 0.5-0.6 µm, 0.58-0.7 µm, 0.75-0.9 µm), which allows to receive images of the Earth surface with swath resolution 8800 pixels (cameras spatial resolution – 50 m, swath - 400 km).

Scientific and educational tasks for “UGATU-SAT” satellite:

1. Conjunction of data transmitted from “UGATU-SAT” with data from active satellite system of remote sensing EOS Terra, EOS Aqua, SPOT, NOAA using receiving stations “UNISCAN-24”© and “Alice”©.
2. Processing of received data using technologies based on systemic integration of following conceptions: fractal sets, continuous wavelet analysis, discrete wavelet transformations, conversion of multidimensional spaces to one-dimensional ones by recursive quasi-continuous scanning. These technologies allow to detect of abnormal signals on the assumption of prior indeterminacy and multiple noise-target situation (SNR<1) and to evaluate signal parameters with better efficiency.
3. Designing of high-speed infocommunication channels for data broadcasting (using fractal compression methods).
4. Organization of satellite-to-satellite information exchange using GlobalStar terminal for receiving and transmitting of telemetric data from satellite beyond line-of-sight coverage of ground control station. It provides continuous control of “UGATU-SAT” in any point of orbit.
5. Testing of multisensor optoelectronic observing system.
6. Approbation of perspective technologies of environment supervision.
7. Approbation of navigation and handling technologies using GPS and GLONASS.
8. Ground sensors’ data relaying.

Applied tasks for “UGATU-SAT” satellite:

1. Receiving of subjacent Earth surface’s images (resolution 50 m and less).
2. Subject processing of satellite data for business and management institutions.
3. Adjustment of multipurpose low-sized microsatellite platform in conditions of space flight.
4. Approbation of satellite channels for transmission of various data in IP-mode.
