For the first time in Uzbekistan, the CubeSat (nano-satellite) produced by the students of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent was launched into the stratosphere. This U-class device weighing 2.5-3.0 kg is a 10 cm cubic satellite consisting of several modules for space exploration.
The CubeSat consists of a series of sensors that transmit physical data about altitude, stratospheric humidity, wind speed, air pollution and other types of data online to a data receiving station located at the university. The data will be analyzed for conducting scientific research in the field of geodesy in the future. The CubeSat also transmitted video footage online during its flight, with the help of which data will be used in future research in the field of geoinformation systems. The purpose of this dawn launch is to get the helium-filled balloon into the stratosphere, 20 km high, before the air temperature rises. Helium gas loses its volatile properties at high temperatures.
After passing through the troposphere, our satellite entered the stratosphere and rose to a higher altitude. "The head of state pays special attention to the development of space activities in our country. In particular, on the basis of the decree No. PF-5806 of August 30, 2019 "On the development of space activities in the Republic of Uzbekistan", the establishment of the agency "Uzbekcosmos" in our country has aroused the interest of our youth in this field.
The goal of implementing a project dedicated to space research within the framework of today's event is to arouse the interest of the students of our university in the development of space research and technologies, scientific research, experimental construction and innovative work, and to acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills in this field. training of highly qualified specialists," said Jamshid Shuhratullayevich Inoyathodjayev, rector of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent. The author of the project, a group of students led by Ziyodulla Butakhonov, a student of the Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent, tried to break the NASA record. The development of space activities will help in the future effective use of land resources, formation of geodesy, cartography and cadastre using geoinformation systems. Also, through the development of geo-information systems, it is possible to reduce traffic congestion in city centers and optimize the use of highways.
