Sayari labs develops and successfully launches nano-satellite to space aboard Indian rocket

Sayari Labs is currently designing, developing and fabricating different satellite hardware and firmware that they will launch into space as well. 

This makes for exciting news for Kenyan companies, labs and techies who have had desires of launching different hardware or applications into orbit. This is because Sayari labs is paving the way for them to do so greatly enhancing tech opportunities in kenya: the tech savanna. 

On its most recent launch the payload has the capability of hosting UHF and VHF communication

In a statement issued on Friday, the company said after several months of diligent work and collaboration with the right partners, the SayariLabs Payload Processor (SPP) - is going to space with lift-off slotted this Friday at 6:48 AM aboard SSLV-D2 rocket owned by the Indian Space Research Organisation. 

In this mission, the SPP is hosted as a Payload aboard JANUS-1, a 6U nanosatellite developed by our partner Antaris Inc.

The SPP was entirely conceived, designed, and developed within the Sayari lab.

Its firmware and software have also been fully developed internally, and Sayarilab js currently collaborating with other AVL designers and engineers to develop the Mission Control Software.

 As a nanosatellite component, it serves to control satellite payloads on behalf of the on-board computer, thereby freeing the latter to run the more traditional task of overseeing the rest of the satellite operations.

Furthermore, it stands out because of its low power consumption and its ability to act as a redundant radio communication module for the nanosatellite.

"It is just the first of several nanosatellite hardware that we are currently developing. We also have our on-board computer, electrical power subsystem, structures and mechanisms subsystem and others at advanced stages of design or undergoing fabrication and we hope to find opportunities to test these too in actual space missions," says Sayari Labs in a statement.

"All these are a build up to our upcoming missions which we intend to design and develop entirely in our lab. We intend and hope that you are truly inspired by this just as we are."
