Transmit and Decode Live Telemetry with the CubeSat Simulator Kit: Arduino Nano + LoRa

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

You're not just wiring sensors; you're establishing a real satellite downlink. This kit replicates a CubeSat's data broadcasting system, sending structured telemetry packets over LoRa to a ground receiver you build. Ideal for engineering students diving into satellite communications or preparing for inter-college tech fests like Smart India Hackathon.

What You'll Build

A full-duplex wireless telemetry link. The ‘satellite’ unit (Arduino Nano + RA-02 LoRa) reads environmental data from BMP280, MPU6050, and DS3231 RTC, packetizes it, and transmits at 433 MHz. The ground station (second Nano + LoRa) decodes and logs the packets in real time on an OLED display and MicroSD card.

What You'll Learn

• Packetizing sensor data into structured telemetry frames with checksums
• Configuring LoRa RF parameters — bandwidth, spreading factor, and coding rate
• Implementing ground station decode logic and error detection
• Time-stamping and logging asynchronous data streams
