Abubakr S. Eltayeb ST2AB is an Electrical Engineer specializing in communications systems. He is currently a member of the Cube Satellite Project which belongs to the Faculty of Engineering at University of Khartoum.

The team includes his colleagues Hala M. Othman, Mustafa Atta Mohamed and Yasir M. Osman ST2YM, and together they constructed the first satellite in Sudan with the help of Dr. Tahani Abdalla, their project manager and Dr. Nader Abdelhameed, the team manager. They designed, tested and experimentally launched a fully functional Cube Satellite prototype named KN-SAT1.

The team is now developing the Flight Model of the KN-SAT1, in preparation for its launch into outer space.

This TEDxKhartoum presentation is not in English, however, the segment from 09:12 until 13:25 contains video showing the development of the KN-SAT1 CubeSat including a test of the deployment of the antennas.

Students at the University of Khartoum, Sudan have been eagerly listening for the new amateur radio satellites deployed by the Vega launcher on Monday, Feb 13.

The students are undertaking a CubeSat project KN-SAT1. As part of the project they recently completed the installation of a satellite groundstation at ST2UOK. This was used to track and receive telemetry data from the Vega satellites.

KN-SAT1 is the first CubeSat to be built in Sudan and an aim is to promote space engineering and space science education at other Sudanese educational institutes.

Students at the  University of Khartoum are undertaking a CubeSat project KN-SAT1 and Nader, ST2NH. has made a video of their recently completed ground station.

KN-SAT1 is the first CubeSat to be built in Sudan. Its objectives are:

  1. To give students at Sudanese Unversities a hands-on space project experience.
  2. To document the process and skills and forward it to more students and post graduated engineers.
  3. To promote space engineering and space science education at other Sudanese educational institutes.
  4. Building, testing and launching the cube satellite.
  5. Monitoring and tracking the cube satellite.
  6. Telecommand the cube satellite.
  7. Collecting the telemetry and the mission data for analysis and evaluation.
