The Design and Implementation of UMP STEM Cube for Environmental Monitoring

Abstraet- The paper presents the design and implementation of the UMP STEM Cube, a pico-satellite prototype aimed at environmental monitoring. By leveraging a modular architecture, the UMP STEM Cube integrates key subsystems including power, communication, attitude determination, and payload systems, with a focus on monitoring air quality and pollution levels. The primary mission objectives involve recording and transmitting temperature, humidity, altitude, and atmospheric pressure data in real-time, while the secondary mission aims to measure the vertical distribution of concentration of 2.5μm particles in the atmosphere using an onboard PM2.5 sensor. The technical specifications, integration process, and operational aspects of the UMP STEM Cube are deliberated in the paper, emphasizing its potential contribution to environmental surveillance.
