Existing satellite IoT controls and communications are not sufficiently robust and capable of facilitating national and international scale distributed autonomous systems. This project aims to create a virtual consortium of Australian and Korean pioneers in the field to perform feasibility analysis of the interconnected Melbourne, Sydney and Seoul satellite IoT networks. We anticipate forming a working group for the next generation of satellite systems and remote applications (e.g., smart farming, smart factory, autonomous shipping, smart mining, and defence). We will develop an online platform based on web-infrastructure to guide and support large-scale data collection, curation, and data distribution to the worldwide satellite industry and research community. For example, with the proposed framework for satellite IoT, one may apply for advances in machine learning for intelligent data sensing-cum-actuating scheme iteratively based on the history of data sets. Disseminating such a novel idea will be useful for the wider community, with the additional benefits of the ongoing opportunities that would be offered for industry engagement and education exchange via the Australia-Korea virtual consortium platform initiative. More importantly, this project will develop university-level partnerships in the bilateral, regional and global context. It increases Australian satellite researchers' capacity to engage with Korean pioneers seamlessly.
