Description

HOD-HOD satellite is an IOT satellite with the CubeSat standard and follows the mission of creating a specialized platform to provide the customers with the international narrowband Internet of Things service. The largest application of HOD-HOD satellite services is in agriculture, transportation, logistics, and environmental protection.

The HOD-HOD-1A, is the first in the “HOD-HOD” constellation (IOD). It’s a 3U CubeSat(10 x 10 x 30cm) and it weights 4 kg with 4 years operation lifetime and placed in 500 Km altitude, constructed at the SpaceOMID. This project is a proof of concept for IoT communications through nanosatellites in LEO. It has UHF communications (4W LoRa), tumbling , a GNSS receiver, 3J solar cells and a Li-FePO4 battery.

HOD-HOD-1A will transmit a beacon signal using a LoRa transceiver on UHF and SBAND frequencies, providing information such as battery status, IMU data, temperatures, and more.
