Designing Robust Uplink and Downlink Systems for Nanosatellites: An Overview of Key Technical and Operational Challenges

In recent years, scientists are becoming increasingly interested in the creation of nanosatellites. This interest is evident for a number of reasons, including safe development, extremely cheap cost, and small design, which reduces launch costs. Nanosatellites are made to carry out specific functions for researchers, such as satellite data, collection of data from space, etc. Nanosatellites are simpler to construct than conventional large-scale satellites. During various design phases, satellite developers face numerous difficulties. There are certain challenges in making nanosatellites. The creation of a communication link between the satellite and the ground station is another essential component; without it, spacecraft in Earth's orbit are useless objects. Designing uplink and downlink for nanosatellites is therefore one of the biggest problems. The most important phase in creating a connection between ground stations and nanosatellites is this one. An analytical assessment for the link budget computation with regard to the nanosatellite is provided in this publication.
