NanosatLab is a research laboratory at Instituto Superior Técnico, focused on the development of nanosatellite technologies and systems engineering education.
We aim to foster innovation and collaboration in Portugal’s space industry by creating hands-on opportunities in satellite technology for students and researchers.
NanosatLab’s main goal is to provide students with an engaging and challenging experience to foster enthusiasm for space, science, and technology. Due to their small size and relative simplicity, CubeSats are ideal educational platforms. They allow students to work on a real—yet achievable—space project, spanning multiple engineering disciplines.
