UM6P-SaT Initiative

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University student CubeSat initiative supported by the French space agency CNES. Students work through the 1U spacecraft lifecycle from mission and viability studies through detailed design, manufacturing, assembly, integration, qualification, and acceptance testing, while the scientific mission studies space-radiation effects on UM6P-developed two-dimensional materials. The project began in 2022 and the current 2026 university page lists it in pre-study with a target launch by the end of 2026.
