Description:

• UAPSat 1 (Universidad Alas Peruanas Satellite) is a Peruvian satellite built by the Institute for Radio Astronomy of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (INRAS-PUCP).
• The 1 kg satellite is built on the 1U-CubeSat form factor. It is powered by fixed solar cells on each side to charge their batteries. It carries a minicomputer, radio transmitters and receivers, a power control system and magnets to to align the satellite with Earth's magnetic field. UAPSat-1 transmits telemetry information consisting of internal and external temperature, voltage and current data of the spacecraft by amateur radio.
• It will be deployed from the Kibo airlock by Nanoracks deployers.
