Welcome to the UniSat universe!
Dear girls, “UniSat – Launch your dreams” program invites you to a new international project.
UniSat participants will open the doors to some of the world’s most advanced technological universities. You will be in the same team with professors and engineers from NASA, the Russian Space Research Agency, scientists from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
Unisat is a unique opportunity for girls in Uzbekistan to find their way, change their lives and try to work on science and advanced technologies.
What is the UniSat program?
The UniSat 4.0 program is implemented by UNICEF and the NGO Tech4Impact in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Agency for Space Research and Technology under the Ministry of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbekcosmos).
The initiative is funded by the European Union as part of the Joint Programme “Empowering Women Economically in Uzbekistan”, implemented by UNFPA Uzbekistan, UN Women, and UNICEF in cooperation with the Government of Uzbekistan.
The Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan serves as the program’s thematic scientific partner.
How will the work in the UniSat program go?
- You will take part in online sessions with experts from various fields of science, successful women working in the field of space technology, who will tell their success stories and may become mentors for girls
- We will conduct online and offline workshops on the design, programming and assembly of nanosatellites
- 2 crews, 10 of the most active and responsible participants from all over Uzbekistan, will be selected by experts and invited to a week-long practical course on the assembly of the UniSat nanosatellite in Tashkent, at the InnoLab laboratory, with the participation of international experts and trainers.
- 2 crews of participants will independently calculate the launch coordinates, organize a MCC (Mission Control Center) and take part in the Central Asian challenge to launch a nanosatellite into the stratosphere
