The continuous evolution of technology necessitates the creation of cutting-edge innovations for the betterment of mankind. One remarkable achievement that emerged in 1999 is the concept of CubeSats, drastically reducing the cost of satellite development and launch, leading to numerous space experiment applications. CubeSats have emerged as a groundbreaking solution in the realm of satellite technology, comprising modular cubic units, each measuring 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. This standardized form factor enables unparalleled flexibility in design, empowering researchers and institutions to customize CubeSats for diverse missions. This paper presents the conceptualization and development of a CubeSat equipped with an advanced environmental parameter sensing system, including temperature, pressure, humidity, altitude, accelerometer, and gyroscope. The collected data is efficiently stored in a centralized XAMMP database management system, functioning as a compact ground station server. With externally mounted antennas and a dedicated onboard microcontroller, the CubeSat boasts an innovative local database system, offering unparalleled features. These CubeSats offer an affordable means of implementing coordinated sensing, low-bandwidth communications, and efficient local database management. The cost-effective local database management server provides compelling evidence that local database systems are a viable and dependable means of storing and maintaining mission-critical data for cube satellites. By showcasing the potential of small-scale satellite projects, this development empowers individuals and educational institutions to participate in hands-on space exploration, fostering creativity and inspiring future generations of space enthusiasts.
