Dragonfly Aerospace has produced its own line of engineering cubesat cameras as well as their signature "CubeSat" series.
The information from this type of CubeSat is transmitted back to Earth through the atmosphere, where it is received and analyzed by ground-based telescopes.Another way that this type of engineering cubesats is used is to collect and transmit data, be it from the Earth or space, back to the ground stations.
All of this is done using cameras that are small and can be fit into many different cameras that are already on-board Dragonfly Aerospace's fleet of satellites.Cubesat Cameras Is VitalSome of the cameras that are included with Dragonfly Aerospace's I & II series are the Paracorr, or the Thermal imaging camera, and the R-cycle or the Riedel camera.
All of these images are then transferred to software on the ground, where artists and researchers can use them to study the effects of space weather on the Earth.While this may seem like a rather technical description of the way that information is gathered and transferred, one need not be a space scientist to comprehend.
The data that is collected by these CubeSats is then returned to the ground station through the air traffic control system.
Once there, the information can be processed by the space flight control team for analysis.Dragonfly Aerospace Space EngineeringPart of the reason why this is such an important job for Dragonfly Aerospace is because of the need to collect as much information as possible about space.
