Science

UltraViolet & infrared Sensors at high Quantum efficiency onboard a small SATellite 
(UVSQ-SAT) is a pioneering space-based mission to demonstrate technologies for broadband 
measurements of Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) and for Solar Spectral Irradiance (SSI) in the Herzberg 
continuum (200 – 242 nm). UVSQ-SAT is a research and innovation mission initiated by Université de 
Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (UVSQ) with the support of the International Satellite Program 
in Research and Education (INSPIRE).

Technology

UVSQ-SAT is a nanosatellite development project based on the one Unit (1U) CubeSat standard. The UVSQ-SAT mission contains a space segment and a 
ground segment that uses at least one UHF/VHF antenna located at Observatoire de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (France). The ground segment includes all the activities from CubeSat monitoring/control to data product generation and distribution.

Ham-Radio

To conduct the UVSQ-SAT mission on the best way, the ham radio community is involved in many major project activities. To formalize this partnership, an agreement protocol has been signed on 1st October 2019 between LATMOS, F6KRK, and AMSAT-Francophone. The Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Radio-Club (F6KRK) works jointly with the LATMOS on the project ground station preparation and commissioning.
