Angika Bulbul IIT-Delhi, Invents Nanosatellite Telescope Which Can Capture High-Resolution Images At Low Cost
Mumbai: The Indian researcher at Israel invented the unique telescope system Nanosatellites which are very small in size and that can lead to low cost and high-resolution images taken by the camera in space. This technology can lead to achieving more in future at a very low cost said by the Angika Bulbul, the PhD candidate of Ben Gurion University, who belongs to Bhagalpur in Bihar.
Bulbul says that “This is an invention that completely changes the costs of space exploration, astronomy, aerial photography, and more. Our system is only 0.5 per cent of the total area of the existing telescopic system, using the advanced technique.”
The Nanosatellites in Spherical configuration can capture the images that match the resolution of the full-frame, lens-based or concave mirror systems used on today’s telescopes.
She had worked under the supervision of Professor Joseph Rosen in the BGU Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and claimed that “Several previous assumptions about long-range photography were incorrect.”
Angika Bulbul the former female student of National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut, and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) DelhiDelhi said that “We found that you only need a small part of a telescope lens to obtain quality images. Even by using the perimeter aperture of a lens, as low as 0.43 per cent, we managed to obtain similar image resolution compared to the full aperture area of a mirror or lens-based imaging systems.”
“Consequently, we can slash the huge cost, time and material needed for gigantic traditional optical space telescopes with large curved mirrors, In the new work, we are trying to improve the power efficiency of our telescopic system because as we know all the telescope receives very few lights from astronomical bodies resulting in low signal to noise ratio (SNR), for better reconstruction of the image we are working on the improvement of power efficiency,” Angika said about her recent ongoing projects.
