WhiteHat Jr. will offer data from a live satellite to its students to encourage space exploration and give their students first-hand experience in space science. The satellite named Ayana has been developed by the space services organization Endurosat with inputs and expertise from EdTech. It was part of the payload carried by the SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare rocket, which was launched on May 25 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, claims EdTech.
Students will have a unique opportunity to track and monitor Ayana’s journey in real time through an exclusive 90-degree camera. They will be able to observe Earth’s landscape and weather, as well as understand the relationship between power and sun sensor values. They can also simulate satellite behavior by tampering with sensor values.
Before accessing Ayana, students will need to have a basic understanding of coding to ensure that they are able to unlock the true potential of the programme. “This will create a one-of-a-kind applied science opportunity for thousands of students who will be able to send commands and access data from a live satellite operating in space,” the edtech platform said.
Ayana is a result of EdTech’s “Code a Satellite” program, which was designed to help its students create, build and explore space with the help of satellites, it said.
Speaking about the initiative, WhiteHat Junior CEO Ananya Tripathi said, “We have always believed in creativity, exploration and innovation – beyond limits. Satellite and space technology are often considered out of reach and out of reach by students. With the Code A Satellite program, we will be able to democratize space technology and provide our students with an extraordinary opportunity to interact with an orbiting satellite in real time. We believe this will excite and encourage thousands of brightest young minds around the world and help them code like space scientists as they build their projects. ,
