National Aerospace University "Kharkiv Aviation Institute"

Description

 The project is aimed at the design and manufacture of a broadband microwave passive radar (radiometer), which is planned to be launched on the university nanosatellite KAI-1KA. Considerable attention in its design will be paid to the possibility of providing stable measurements with a significantly extended operating interval between calibrations. The formulation and solution of the problem of synthesis of such a radiometer, design of its circuit and manufacture of the finished product will be characterised by novelty (restrictions on functioning in space conditions, restrictions on power consumption, volume and shape will be applied). Today, KAI has adopted the Space Programme, according to which it is planned to develop and launch a series of nanosatellites with unique equipment (radars in the form of separate devices, as well as in the form of elements of spatially distributed radio complexes, ion-plasma and plasma-ion engines, etc.). This programme has been developed in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Space Activities", the "National Target Scientific and Technical Space Programme of Ukraine for 2021-2025" (Minstrategprom) and agreed with the Yangel Yuzhnoye SDO. It is expected that the experience gained from this project will become the basis for the creation of effective space radio monitoring systems to support security, sustainable development, environmental management and agro-monitoring. Today, the development of the theory and methods of radio image formation using nanosatellites is a problem that scientists from such organisations as NASA, MIT Lincoln Laboratory and others are working to solve.
