Design and Realization of a Nanosatellite for Malaysia SiswaSAT Competition 2020

This paper provides the conceptualization and the development of IIUMSAT-2, a nanosatellite that is designed by a group of engineering students from International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) to simulate an actual satellite ability in space. IIUMSAT-2 is an integrated system comprising Mechanical Subsystem, Payload Subsystem, Communication and Data Handling Subsystem (CDH), Electrical Power Subsystem, and Ground Control System. The nanosatellite is developed based on the Space Mission Analysis and Design (SMAD) approach. IIUMSAT-2 is able to communicate at a 200m distance, transmitting pressure, temperature, altitude, humidity, location, attitude, and flight images to the ground station wirelessly.
