The system for satellite monitoring of surface water quality in real-time and early-warning system (WQM) is ready for connection with the Iridium constellation of 66 satellites. GSM transmitter will be replaced by RockBlock transmitter as well as the operational code.

SECOND PHASE OF STANDARDIZATION of WQM system has been completed…
Second phase of standardization of system for satellite monitoring of surface water quality in real-time and early-warning system (WQM) has been completed.
All electronic components has been tested on the field using a GSM module as transmitter. For storing the electronics was used a test buoy that will in the third, final, phase also be standardized. Standardization of the buoy is directly related to HUMSAT transmitter for which everything is ready and that will, of course, replace the GSM transmitter.
While we wait the HUMSAT transmitter from partners from the University of Vigo (Spain), it will be carried out further consultations with the Republic Hydrometeorological Service and the Agency for Environmental Protection.
FIRST PHASE OF STANDARDIZATION OF WQM SYSTEM HAS BEEN COMPLETED…
Started development of WQM-HUMSAT system…
Started development of system for satellite monitoring of surface water quality in real-time and early-warning system (WQM) within HUMSAT project.
The system consists of two major segments:
– segment of the the Earth (WQM);
– segment in Space (HUMSAT);
and use “Store & Forward” telecommunications technique.
Segment on Earth (WQM) develops Committee, and segment in Space develops University of Vigo (Spain) through the project HUMSAT (Humanitarian Satellite Constellation).
The project is supported by the office in charge of the United Nations – UNOOSA (United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs) and the European Space Agency – ESA.
