Kanyini (SASAT 1) [SASIC]
The Kanyini (or SASAT 1) 6U CubeSat developed n in partnership with South Australian companies Myriota and Inovor Technologies, lead by the SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre (CRC).
Myriota will provide the IoT space services for the mission; sending data from IoT devices and sensors on Earth�s surface to the satellite. The data will be securely transferred directly to the cloud and returned to Earth so it can be used to improve delivery of emergency services, and environmental monitoring. For example, data will be collected on weather events, including rainfall and bushfires, which have been impacted by climate change in recent years.
The hyperspectral imaging payload is the HyperScout 2 Flight Model Instrument, which is provided by COSINE. The imager features 45 spectral bands from 400-1000 nm covering the visual and near infra-red ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectral range allows analysis of many characteristics of vegetation and soil that is not possible from a standard 3 band (red-green-blue) sensor. While the pixel size on the ground (ground sample distance) is 75 meters in size, this still allows analysis of vegetation in forested areas, crops and coastal regions that will benefit research into the understanding and management of crop health, forests, plantations and the inland water and coastal environment.
The HyperScout 2 imager also includes a three-band thermal infrared sensor that will allow new types of research and analysis of heat generators in South Australia and have potential environmental monitoring and management applications. It also features an onboard processing capability which provides the opportunity for advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to conduct smart processing of the Hyperspectral data directly on orbit, offering the potential to reduce the data transmission requirements or to support more rapid decision making for timecritical applications.
