ZaCube-2

ZACube-2 provides a sophisticated platform for tracking marine vessels along the African coastline using an advanced Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver. This high-performance nanosatellite facilitates the testing of the VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) to enhance ship-to-shore communication and maritime safety. Its successful mission demonstrates a significant leap in the capability of CubeSats to perform complex, real-time monitoring of economic zones and environmental changes.
