PAUSAT1 16U CubeSat with 1.5-meter resolution imager

With extensive experience from seven prior CubeSat missions, Space Systems Design and Test Laboratory (SSDTL) has played an essential role in advancing small satellite technology in Türkiye. PAUSAT1 is Pakistan’s first CubeSat which carries a high-resolution multispectral imager and will operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). PAUSAT1 with its 16U size, is the biggest and most capable CubeSat SSDTL ever made. SSDTL worked with Pakistan Air University (AU) on PAUSAT1. This collaboration represents a significant achievement in space exploration and international cooperation. The development of PAUSAT-1 not only enhances Pakistan’s capacity for technological innovation but also demonstrates SSDTL’s ability to lead complex projects.
