<strong>UNISEC</strong>: <strong>University</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> <strong>Consortium</strong><br />
� <strong>UNISEC</strong> is a non-profitable organization to facilitate<br />
and promote practical space development activities,<br />
such as designing, developing, manufacturing, and<br />
launching small satellites and hybrid rockets at<br />
university level.<br />
� Established in 2002<br />
� 55 laboratories/groups from 35 universities<br />
� 470 student members and 220 supporters<br />
� 3 pillars: Human resource development,<br />
Technological development, Outreach
<strong>UNISEC</strong> Activities – what we do<br />
� Distribute R&D funds from space enterprise<br />
� Engage <strong>UNISEC</strong> members with space companies<br />
(technical/component/facility support, consulting)<br />
�� Work on legal issues (frequency band, export license, etc.)<br />
� Work on safety issues<br />
� Find launch opportunities<br />
� Technology exchange, joint development/purchase<br />
� Symposium/workshop/study group, conference<br />
� Local outreach activities

Background (2) CubeSat 1999~<br />
� First CubeSat launch (June 2003)<br />
� Only two Japanese CubeSats (one by Univ. of Tokyo, and<br />
the other by Tokyo Inst. of Tech.) worked well.<br />
� Both satellites are still very healthy in orbit (more than 8<br />
years)<br />
� A total of 15 Japanese university nano satellites<br />
were launched up to now.<br />
