As satellite connectivity, big data, and intelligent systems increasingly shape our society, it is more important than ever to prepare young people for the future. SatGO provides students with a direct data link to a real satellite and empowers them to develop critical STEM skills. The IoT, which connects intelligent devices and enables data exchange between them, is transforming sectors such as climate monitoring, sustainable transportation, smart agriculture, renewable energy management and security.
Tailored for students aged 10 up to university level, industry and governments, the educational package includes a detailed lesson plan, a satcom-enabled IoT device, and in-depth background theory in science and technology. The SatGO device itself is equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver to determine position and precise timing by satellite, an inertial measurement unit (a device that measures orientation and acceleration), and environmental sensors capable of measuring ambient temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure.
