Earth data
originated from Small Multi-Mission Satellite (SMMS) will be used to forecast
rice production, said Songporn Komolsuradej, Executive Director of Space
Affairs Bureau, Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT).
The Space Affairs Bureau, in collaboration with Ministry of Agriculture
and Cooperatives and Kasetsart University, agreed to pilot the project of
satellite data application to combine the size of paddy field and vegetation
index to further the analysis of the rice growth and development.
Also, the SMMS will evaluate potential paddy for off-season rice and be
able to predict the rice stock launched into the market more precisely.
The SMMS is an earth remote sensing satellite jointly invested and
manufactured by China and Thailand to regulate and promote the use of SMMS data
among the Member States of Asia Pacific Space Cooperation Organisation for
education and research cooperation.
The SMMS carries a low-resolution Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera
and an experimental telecommunications system. The Ka-band payload for
installation in SMMS is fully responsible by Thailand’s MICT under supervision
of Kasetsart University.
