Greenhouse gasses will continue to warm the earth. The planet earth naturally will counter this threat in many ways including the change in the pattern of clouds. Clouds have the role of cooling down the surface of the earth by reflecting the sunlight but also can absorb heat like greenhouse gasses. By this, figuring the cloud pattern will surely help all the researchers to gain more and more information about the cloud’s behavior. The IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) has created a team consisting of 3 different nations that focused on research in terms of geoscience and remote sensing. And, the teams will collaborate and decide to pick this problem to solve it with CubeSat technology. The payload will be operated at 400 km altitude. As the Indonesian Team, we are making a CubeSat payload that has several sensors that are functional to be used to sense climate change. We could predict the outcome of the behavior of the clouds. In this research, we will serve a CubeSat payload design consisting of RGB Cameras to take an image of clouds in certain areas, where that photo will be used to monitor climate change. After defining the mission to take images of the cloud, we calculate the mission needs then choose the instruments and establish the block system. After that, we tested an RGB Camera to capture multicomplex images to determine the volume of the image at a maximum level. We get the maximum volume from the high quality of capture. We also tested to capture the cloud to know the quality of the camera and the volume of the size that will be used. The result after testing to capture a cloud image is the thickness and the quality of the cloud images affects the size of the resulting image. The thick cloud will produce a bright and clear result than the thin cloud. The images of the cloud that have been taken will be collected and will be used to monitor climate change in a certain area.
