12 Why KiboCUBE? u UNOOSA and JAXA are raising awareness of the role that space science and technology play in promoting sustainable development and contributing to building national capacities in spacecraft engineering, design and construction. (CubeSat (1U)/ once a year in ) Space Science and Technology Sustainable Development and Capacity Building Space economies in developing na&oons 12

13 Eligibility Criteria of KiboCUBE The en&ty shall be... Located in developing countries Located in a country without the means to transport artificial satellites into space and place them in orbit A head of research institutes, universities, or other public organizations Responsible for the development, operation and utilization of their CubeSat 13

14 University of Nairobi team selected for KiboCUBE u UNOOSA and JAXA have completed public announcement of this opportunity on March 31, 2016 and accepted 13 proposals. u UNOOSA and JAXA have selected a team from the University of Nairobi to be the first to benefit from the KiboCUBE programme. Selection result Satellite Name :1KUNS-PF 1st Kenyan University NanoSatellite-Precursor Flight Organization : University of Nairobi / Kenya Mission : Technology Demonstration Launch / Deploy : 2017 Overview of 1KUNS-PF University of Nairobi 14

15 Conclusion Eager to support capacity building and technological development 2 nd KiboCUBE is coming soon! Looking forward to seeing more applicants! 15
