KN-SAT Prototype-2

The KN-SAT Cubesat team at the University of Khartoum (UofK), Sudan, have successfully completed the design and development of the Prototype-2. This has been a result of hard work and dedication throughout the last year.

Dr. Sharief F Babikir writes: “I must convey my deep respect and admiration to the Technical Manager of the team, Dr. Nader Omer ST2NH whose leadership, unparalleled knowledge and professionalism has been behind the success of Prototype-2 as it has undeniably been behind Prototype-1.”

KN-SAT1 Prototype Subsystems Design and Testing

The KN-SAT1 CubeSat, which will have a VHF downlink, is being developed at the University Of Khartoum.

Mahmoud Esawi has made available a video which shows KN-SAT1 Prototype2 subsystems design and testing.

Prototype 2 has a variety of functions:
• Send it’s location received from the GPS receiver.
• Taking a picture and send it back to earth using AX.25 protocol.
• Receive Tele-commands from earth to be executed, like:
• Restart the subsystems.
• Download a picture.
• Take a shot at specific GPS location.
• Change the Tele command key password.

KN-Sat1 Ground Station is ready to go

The Cubesat team at University of Khartoum has finished installing the ground station equipments . It is ready now to tracking and monitoring many cubesats.

KN-Sat1 team members are willing to share knowledge and experience with any institute or university involving in cubesat programm.

Thanks to the KN-SAT1 team .

We are very thankful for the continuous support from you, by sending us the
beacon data. We are right now trying to estimate the performance of the
satellite and will be planning to perform the operation of the payload in
the next couple of days. Before the operation of the payload is begun, we
would like to do a small performance test with respect to the RF link. We,
therefore request you to kindly keep sending the beacon signal and also try
to send the details of the RF signal performance over the entire length of
the pass.


I would like to quote some of the words from the SRMSAT project Students and
Mentors

"IT IS A GREAT MORAL BOOSTING CONTINUING INFO FLOW FROM YOU FOR THE SRMSAT
GROUP. iT MAKE US PROUD TO CONFIRM FREQUENTLY THAT OUR SAT IS WORKING. gRAET
SUPPORT.tO BE TAGGED "

We would also like to thank Mr. Nader Omer for his support by developing the
SRMVU Decoder.

" This is great. Thanks to the team for taking such efforts for developing
the decoder.......its just amazing to see the response of the HAM people out
there "

Looking forward for the support.

استطاع فريق من كلية الهندسة جامعة الخرطوم من بناء اول قمر صناعي سوداني اطلق علية اسم كيوبسات بجانب انشاء محطة ارضية. وتم ارسال واستقبال الاشارات من القمر الصناعي التجريبي الى المحطة.

و اشارت رئيسة قسم الهندسة الكهربائية و الالكترونية بجامعة الخرطوم الدكتور تهاني عطية ان القمر الصناعي كيوبسات قمر صناعي تعليمي لاغراض البحث العلمي.

و مشروع القمر الصناعي التجريبي بدا بمبادرة من الدكتور نادر عبدالحميد عمر في اغسطس 2009 ، والذي عمل مع فريق يضم 4 مهندسين من جامعة الخرطوم تحت رعاية واشراف مركز النيل للابحاث التقنية، وتمكن الفريق من وضع التصاميم لمشروع القمر الصناعي التجريبي وتحويلها الى دوائر الكترونية.

واوضحت تهاني عطية في منتدي بمناسبة بناء القمر الصناعي التجريبي امس، انه تم تجميع القمر الصناعي التجريبي بصورة دقيقة وانشاء محطة ارضية له وتثبيته على برج كليه الهندسة جامعة الخرطوم ، وتم ارسال واستقبال الاشارات والبيانات في المحطة الارضية ، وزادت بذلك نكون كسرنا حاجز الخوف من التقنية ونتطلع لاطلاق قمر صناعي باسم السودان في الفضاء الخارجي على امتداد الكرة الارضية .

و اكد رئيس الفريق وصاحب الفكرة ، ان هنالك اكثر من 100 جامعة في العالم لها اقمار صناعية، واضاف ان الهدف من القمر الصناعي التجريبي كيوبسات دعم مناهج علوم الفضاء بالجامعات السودانية، واشاد بصبر واصرار الفريق العامل على انجاز مهمته حتى اكمال القمر الصناعي التجريبي وتجريبه
