ANTELSAT is a 2U CubeSat class satellite, which has been developed by the Uruguayan Facultad de Ingenieria de la Universidad de la Republica (FING), the State Faculty of Engineering, and the national telecom service provider ANTEL. It is the first Uruguayan satellite. The purpose of ANTELSAT is to build and operate the first satellite ever launched into orbit by Urugua and to develop skills in radio and aerospace engineering, to promote enthusiasm in STEM education at all levels, and provide challenging activities for undergraduate students. The spacecraft is planned to transmit colour and infrared images of the surface of the earth, and to provide several services to radio amateurs. The mission is purely experimental and a technology demonstrator of all the satellite subsystems, which have been custom designed locally.
