The Atmospheric Ozone Monitoring System by using Internet of Things Technology for Nanosatellites (3U CubeSat)

Abstract

This paper presents the system for monitoring the condition of the earth's ozone layer using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The proposed system deploys a 3U CubeSat satellite to measure ultraviolet intensity to compare the intensity value of ultraviolet radiation at each terrestrial base station through the web application. The measured data is computed and classified by cloud computing into five levels of the regional ozone layer's quality: excellent, good, average, fair, and poor. These data can also be gathered as statistics and retrieved on a daily, monthly and annual basis. Consequently, by this information, campaigning for people to reduce the destructive behaviours of the ozone layer in each area would be incredibly advantageous. In addition, each base station can be built for less than $150 using commonly available electronics and sensors, allowing the proposed system to be implemented and deployed globally. As a result, this project would be of great benefit to humanity to have information on the health of the ozone layer in each region around the world. This paper could be better inform monitoring strategies to reduce the greenhouse effect that brings unfamiliar and unpredictable impacts of climate change to the world.
