A microsatellite for maritime communications developed by the Satellite Technology And Research Center (STAR) under the National University of Singapore’s College of Design and Engineering (NUS CDE), and A*STAR’s Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), has been successfully launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikotta, India, on Saturday, 22 April 2023 at 4:50pm (Singapore time).
NUS’ STAR designed and built the Lumelite-4 microsatellite using the university’s patented modular and scalable satellite’s bus system with fault tolerant features, while A*STAR’s I2R developed the experimental satellite-based communication hardware.
