GlobalGuard: Design and Validation of a CubeSat Constellation for Environmental Disaster Monitoring and Response

GlobalGuard is a scalable network of CubeSats designed to provide low-cost, real-time monitoring of natural disasters. Based on the hypothesis that traditional satellite systems are too expensive and inaccessible for many regions, especially in the Global South, the project explores how CubeSats can measure key environmental parameters such as temperature, soil moisture, and atmospheric conditions. Data are transmitted to a mobile platform, ensuring access for local communities, authorities, and humanitarian organizations.
