A three-unit CubeSat, TigriSat, is the first satellite to be launched for Iraq. Built for the country’s Ministry of Science and Technology by Iraqi students working at the La Sapienza University in Rome, TigriSat will be used to monitor dust storms in Iraq. It weighs 4 Kg with 10*10*30 cm size. Unisat-6 released in orbit four Cubesats on the 20 June 2014 at 2107 UTC – 25 hours and 38 minutes after the separation from the Dnepr Launch Vehicle. This timing was requested in order to comply with the specifications of the launcher and to make the release just a few minutes before being visible from Rome. Those cubesat satellites are 2U ANTELSAT, AeroCube-6, 3U LEMUR-1 and 3U TigriSat.
