As advances in technology make payloads and instruments for space missions smaller, lighter, and more power efficient, a distinct segment market is emerging for low-cost missions on very small spacecrafts such as - micro, nano, and picosatellites. Due to the fact that even after many technological advances the usage of miniature satellites the remote sensing of atmospheric is still not a widely explored aspect, to overcome this we idealized a system to build a CUBESAT which can be built with minimal efforts. We proposed this system with an objective to build a CUBESAT to detect different weather aspects of our earth at the troposphere layer which is the lowest layer of earth. We implemented our project using the Raspberry Pi due to its versatility in multi-processing and connectivity. Here the Raspberry-Pi is going to be configured with transceiver modules in the CUBESAT’s sender-end to gather atmospheric data associated with temperature, gasses present, humidity and pressure using CUBESAT sensors and after the reception of data at ground station by Arduino configured as receiver, data is going to be stored in an accessible website for viewing and further computations.
