UVSQ-SAT NG
UVSQ-SAT NG is the third satellite delivered by ISISPACE to the Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (UVSQ), following the successful UVSQ-SAT 1U and UVSQ-SAT+ 2U missions. This latest 6UXL platform was launched on March 15, 2025, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Developed by the LATMOS laboratory (CNRS/Sorbonne Université/UVSQ), the satellite is dedicated to studying Earth's radiative balance and monitoring atmospheric greenhouse gases, contributing to the international INSPIRE program for research and education.

Equipped with advanced instruments, including radiative sensors and a near-infrared spectrometer, UVSQ-SAT NG aims to continue the data collection initiated by its predecessors, enhancing our understanding of climate dynamics. The satellite also features a high-definition camera for Earth observation, particularly focusing on the Île-de-France region. This mission underscores the scalability and reliability of ISISPACE’s satellite platforms, as well as the enduring partnership with UVSQ in advancing space-based climate research.
