PFZ provide information about the probable locations of fish aggregation in the seas to the fishermen. The device will help to provide information related to disaster warnings when fishermen move away from the coast beyond 10 to 12 kilometres. The GEMINI device receives and transfers the data received from GAGAN satellite/s to a mobile through Bluetooth communication. A mobile application developed by INCOIS decodes and displays the information in nine regional languages. It has been developed by the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), and the Airports Authority of India (AAI). It is electronically designed and manufactured by a private industry M/S Acord, Bangalore under the Make in India Program. Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) in collaboration with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) utilized the GAGAN (GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation) satellite while developing the GEMINI device. GAGAN was developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the Airports Authority of India. It is India’s first satellite-based global positioning system that relies on ISRO’s GSAT satellites. The drawback of this device is that it only allows one-way communication, i.e, it can’t be used by fishermen to make calls. Also, it is relatively expensive for the average fisherman (priced at ₹9,000 per device). Attempts are being made to subsidize it by as much as 90%. UNISPACE Nanosatellite Assembly &Training (UNNATI) programISRO launched a capacity building program on Nanosatellite development named UNNATI. It is an initiative to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first United Nations conference on the exploration and peaceful uses of outer space (UNISPACE+50). It would provide opportunities to the participating developing countries to strengthen in assembling, integrating, and testing of Nanosatellite. Download 2.63 Mb. Share with your friends:
