Explore the BIRDS series

The Joint Global Multi-Nations Birds Satellite project, or BIRDS project, was created by the Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech) to help countries build their first satellite. So far, there have been 4 completed and one ongoing BIRDS missions:

  1. BIRDS-1: Bangladesh, Japan, Mongolia, Ghana and Nigeria.
  2. BIRDS-2: Bhutan, The Philipines and Malaysia.
  3. BIRDS-3: Japan, Sri Lanka and Nepal
  4. BIRDS-4: Japan, The Philipines, Paraguay.
  5. BIRDS-5: Japan, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

The project has two main objectives:

  1. Experience the entire cycle of a satellite project, from mission definition to operation, in a hands-on manner.
  2. Have a strategy for sustainability after the training ends.

It should be emphasized that the primary goal is not the building of a satellite, but to have a long-term and sustainable space program established in each member country.

Kyutech initiated a long-term fellowship program, DNST/PNST (Doctorate in NanoSatellite Technology/ Postgraduate study in NanoSatellite Technology), in 2011 in collaboration with the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) to promote the space capacity building of non-space-faring nations. It also started the Space Engineering International Course (SEIC) in 2013 as a postgraduate program.

Two or three young engineers are sent from each participating country to Kyutech as full-time graduate students to learn space engineering using 1U CubeSat development work. The BIRDS program is designed so that each generation of satellites can be finished in two years, from mission definition to operation. Including operation in two years is critical to fit the entire satellite project into a master’s degree course study timeline, which is two years.

Satellite Bus

3. What is in the BIRDS bus?

birdsx-frame   birdsx-board-frame

The bus includes the following key components:

On-Board Computer (OBC): Handles the satellite’s core computing needs.

Electrical Power System (EPS): Manages power generation, storage, and distribution.

Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS): Controls satellite orientation and stability.

Communications (COM): Oversees data transmission to and from the satellite.

birdsx-com

Structure: Designs and constructs the satellite’s physical frame.

Payload: Manages mission-specific instruments or sensors.

Backplane (BPB): Integrates all the subsystems and allows transfer of power and data to each of them.
