Satellite System Architecture and Space–Based Instrumentation for Environmental Monitoring
The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) Student Branch Chapter, IIT Indore, is organizing a seminar on Satellite System Architecture and Space, Aerial, and Terrestrial Instrumentation for Monitoring. This session will provide insights into the design and operation of modern satellite communication systems, including orbital configurations, link budgets, and key architectural elements. It will also explore the role of spaceborne, airborne, and ground-based sensing systems in environmental and resource monitoring, focusing on data acquisition, transmission, and processing techniques. The event aims to enhance participants’ understanding of how integrated communication and sensing systems contribute to global connectivity, remote sensing, and scientific research. Students, researchers, and professionals interested in satellite communications, remote sensing, and instrumentation are encouraged to attend.

Biography:
Esa Kallio received the Ph.D. degree in space physics from the University of Helsinki, Finland, with a focus on ASPERA/Phobos-2 ion spectrometer and its measurements at Mars. He is currently an Associate Professor of space science and technology with Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland. His main area of research has involved space plasma instruments and the interpretation of their observations with computer simulations. He has been involved as a Co-Investigator in several space instrument projects: ASPERA-3/Mars Express, ASPERA-4/ Venus Express, ICA/Rosetta, and PEP/JUICE. Most recently, he led the development of the Suomi 100 CubeSat. His current research interests include CubeSats and their space instrumentation.
