Based at the Observatoire de Paris-PSL, the Centre pour les nanosatellites en sciences de l’Universe (CENSUS) is the space centre of the Université Paris Sciences Lettres (PSL) and a centre of expertise of the Observatoire de Paris-PSL. As such, it supports all the nanosatellite projects of the laboratories of all the PSL establishments.

The space campus of university Paris Est Créteil (CS-UPEC) promotes space studies through the design of space instruments and nanosatellites.

CurieSat is Sorbonne Université’s student space centre, which supports the nanosatellite projects of the university and its laboratories.

The Pôle Spatial Université Paris Cité (PSUPC) supports the scientific projects of Université Paris Cité laboratories associated with future space missions and their instruments, as well as the analysis of data from missions in operation, including nanosatellites.

The Laboratoire astroparticules et cosmologie (APC) is a research laboratory focusing on cosmology, gravitation, high-energy astrophysics and particle physics.

Supervisory bodies: CNRS, université Paris Cité, CEA, Observatoire de Paris PSL, CNES

The Institut d’astrophysique de Paris (IAP) is an internal school of Sorbonne Université whose research focuses on the formation of planetary systems and the search for extrasolar planets, stellar physics, the evolution of galaxies, large-scale structures, observational and theoretical cosmology, the physics of the primordial Universe and extreme energy phenomena.

Supervisory bodies: CNRS, Sorbonne Université

The Institut de mécanique céleste et de calcul des éphémérides (IMCCE) is an institute of the Observatoire de Paris-PSL with research and service missions for the production and distribution of ephemerides, which it carries out under the aegis of the Bureau des Longitudes.

Supervisory bodies: Observatoire de Paris – université Paris Sciences & Lettres, CNRS, Sorbonne Université, université de Lille, Bureau des longitudes

The Institut de physique du globe de Paris (IPGP) is a geosciences research establishment focused on the study of the Earth and planets, from the core to the most superficial fluid envelopes, through observation, experimentation and modelling. 

Supervisory bodies: CNRS, IPGP, université Paris Cité

The Laboratoire atmosphères et observations spatiales (LATMOS) is a research laboratory specialising in the study of the physico-chemical processes governing the Earth’s and planetary atmospheres and their interfaces with the surface, the ocean and the interplanetary environment.

Supervisory bodies: CNRS, université Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Sorbonne Université, CNES

The laboratoire d’études du rayonnement et de la matière en astrophysique et atmosphère (LERMA) is a research laboratory conducting programmes in the fields of cosmology and galaxies, the dynamics of interstellar media and stellar plasmas, molecules in the Universe and instrumentation and remote sensing.

Supervisory bodies: CNRS, Observatoire de Paris – université Paris Sciences & Lettres, Sorbonne Université, Université Cergy Paris

The Laboratoire d’études spatiales et d’instrumentation en astrophysique (LESIA) is an astrophysics research laboratory dedicated to the design and production of scientific space and ground-based instrumentation, the exploitation and scientific interpretation of observations made with these instruments and the development of advanced techniques used in ground-based and space-based instruments.

Supervisory bodies: Observatoire de Paris – université Paris Sciences & Lettres, CNRS, Sorbonne Université, Université Paris Cité

The Laboratoire interuniversitaire des systèmes atmosphériques (LISA) is a research laboratory dedicated to understanding the functioning of the Earth’s and the planet’s atmospheres, and the impacts of changes in atmospheric composition caused by human activities.

Supervisory bodies: université Paris-Est Créteil, université Paris Cité, CNRS

The Laboratoire de physique de l’École normale supérieure (LP-ENS) is an interdisciplinary fundamental research laboratory specialising in physics and its interfaces. Its scientific activities cover astrophysics, cosmology and gravitation, biophysics, fluids and interfaces, fundamental interactions, quantum materials and devices, and statistical physics.

Supervisory bodies: ENS, CNRS, Sorbonne Université, université Paris Cité

The Observatoire de Paris is a Grand établissement with a mission to conduct research, provide training and disseminate knowledge. Structured into 5 scientific departments, 1 institute, 2 centres of scientific expertise and shared services, the Observatory conducts research covering all fields of contemporary astronomy and astrophysics.

Il s’agit de l’unité porteuse de la Fédération Nanosats.
