Abstract
Nano Observatory as a Service (NOaaS):A Cloud-Connected Space/Ground Telescope Network for Real-Time Sky Awareness is a new way of monitoring the sky, using a fleet of small telescopes in space, combined with ground observatories and cloud computing on aws, to deliver real-time insights about what is happening above Earth. Instead of relying only on large, expensive observatories, NOaaS uses multiple compact telescopes in low-Earth orbit working together as a virtual global observatory.
In the age of AI and computing we are building a future by transforming how humanity explores space by monetizing access to cosmic events through Leveraging Space/Ground data from network of multispectral ground and In-Orbit Telescopes with accurate AI models for astronomy, education, and Asset/SSA-adjacent space mapping for making it accessible to researchers, students, space asset operators, Insurance company and enthusiasts worldwide using AWS platform.
Presenter
Anand Nagesh
Kosmos Connect (India)
An emerging systems engineer whose work bridges spacecraft electronics, mission systems design, and the development of indigenous high-reliability hardware for aerospace and defence. My technical journey combines hands-on engineering, multidisciplinary research, and a long-term ambition to contribute to India’s capability in VLSI, nanoelectronics, and advanced AIT (Assembly, Integration, and Testing) for space systems.
My foundational work spans embedded systems, real-time data acquisition, RS-485-based communication architectures, and the design of fault-tolerant electronics for small satellite platforms. My experience includes integrating CubeSat payload boards, defining operational modes, implementing CRC-based error detection, and creating mission-specific GUIs and ground data handling tools. These responsibilities have given me a deep understanding of system-level interactions, hardware–software integration, and robustness requirements for spaceflight.
