Mongolia's first satellite will be launched in spring of 2017 by National University of Mongolia (NUM) within framework of international "Birds" project, reports NUM.
"Birds" project includes Ghana, Mongolia, Bangladesh, Japan, Nigeria and Japanese government is providing various soft loans to non-satellite countries for them to utilize their labor force, create local database and launch nano satellite.
Within the project's framework, Kyushu university looks after the manufacturing and launching of nano satellite and Mongolian students studying in Japan, NUM teachers and students will cooperate in the works. Ground station will be established in NUM and will receive information, control the satellite.
Project goal:
- Take imagery with 100m resolution at 400km altitude
- Cast news through FM437BHz
- Identify satellite location
- Identify dense space light at 400km altitude
- Connect ground stations into international network
Cost for manufactoring is $100,000 and launching is $225,000. NUM is to finance $50,000 and aims to raise another $50,000 through public donation. And the UHF/VHF ground station will be established in NUM at the cost of $125,000 funded by "Tertiary education in engineering technology" project.
People who donated to support Mongolia's first satellite launch will have their name archived with this historic event.
Donations will be reported through NUM glass account on their official website and people who donated above 100,000 MNT tugrik will receive acknowledgement letter.
