Applications of Nanosatellites in Constellation: Overview and Feasibility Study for a Space Mission Based on Internet of Space Things Applications Used for AIS and Fire Detection.

In some geographically challenging areas (such as deserts, seas, and forests) where direct connectivity to a terrestrial network is difficult, space communication is the only option. In these remote locations, Internet of Space Things (IoST) applications can also be used successfully. In this paper, the proposed payload for IoST applications demonstrates how an Automatic Identification System (AIS) and a fire detection system can be used effectively.
