The Petite Amateur Navy Satellite (PANSAT) was a small satellite designed and built by officer students, faculty, and staff at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). The main objective was to support the Space Systems and Engineering and Space Systems Operations curricula by providing a "hands-on" hardware project where exposure to the many facets of a space system development and life cycle could be experienced. PANSAT provided educational training while in orbit through a space-based laboratory for officer students at NPS. PANSAT was launched from the Shuttle into a low-Earth orbit on the STS-95 Discovery mission as part of the third International Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker (IEH-3) experiment.
