Established in 2002 55 laboratories/groups from 35 universities 470 student members and 220 supporters 3 pillars: Human resource development, Technological development, Outreach UNISEC Activities – what we do
Distribute R&D funds from space enterprise Engage UNISEC members with space companies (technical/component/facility support, consulting) Work on legal issues (frequency band, export license, etc .) Work on safety issues Find launch opportunities Technology exchange, joint development/purchase Symposium/workshop/study group, conference Local outreach activities UNISEC Development

July 2011 Background (2) CubeSat 1999~ First CubeSat launch (June 2003) Only two Japanese CubeSats (one by Univ. of Tokyo, and the other by Tokyo Inst. of Tech.) worked well. Both satellites are still very healthy in orbit (more than 8 years) A total of 15 Japanese university nano satellites were launched up to now.
