With the successful Antrix PSLV-C9 launch that occurred yesterday by the ISRO at the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, India, COM DEV International’s role with the University of Toronto in building an experimental nanosatellite has met with success.This project is part of the company’s technology validation process to verify key element performance of their advanced, space-based AIS (Automatic Identification System) solution. The University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies Space Flight Laboratory (UTIAS/SFL) is also going to be responsible for the ongoing operation of the nanosat. The mission will collect data for the AIS validation and enable design improvements to be incorporated into the final product. The mission will also provide information related to maritime vessel densities and distribution, which will be used to optimize any future constellation system design—Cambridge, Ontario
