Launch brokerer	ISILaunch
Oneliner	Measure solar radiation and educational mission.
Description	The first scientific goal is to measure the incoming solar radiations (total solar irradiance) and the outgoing terrestrial radiations (top of atmosphere outgoing longwave radiations and shortwave radiations) using twelve miniaturized thermopiles sensors. The second scientific goal is to monitor the solar spectral irradiance at 215 nm (Herzberg solar continuum) using four photodiodes based on intrinsic advantages of pulsed laser deposition of ZnO nanostructures with MgZnO alloy. The third objective is to space-qualified a medical device for astronauts
Results	UVSQ-SAT, still fully operational, celebrates its third anniversary, 2024-01-24. Joined in April 2023 by a second nano-satellite, INSPIRE-Sat 7, it continues its data collection mission. A third Cube-Sat, UVSQ-sat NG, will be launched in 2025 to join this first constellation of university nano-satellites dedicated to the observation of essential climate variables. In three years, UVSQ-Sat has: Completed more than 15,000 laps around the Earth. Made more than 5,000 passes over the LATMOS based in Guyancourt (78), i.e. 5 passes per day. Mobilized more than 70 radio amateurs, university space centers or companies that regularly monitor this satellite all over the world. Provided over 20 million telemetry measurements. Delivers over 3 million scientific data points – including Solar Reflected Flux (OSR) and Earth IR Flux (OLR).
