In a nutshell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Members of the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Nanosats are involved in ambitious scientific projects. The variety of satellites, themes and scientific objectives addressed bear witness to the extraordinary capabilities of nanosatellites as a new vector for space exploration, and to the interest that communities have in them. From the study of the Earth\u2019s atmosphere to the calibration of the cosmological background, nanosatellites have their place in all the disciplines of the sciences of the Earth and the Universe. The characteristics of nanosatellites also represent opportunities to develop and test innovative technologies that could potentially be used on larger satellites, which is a serious advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
