VELOX I
Nanyang Technological University
VELOX-I is the first Singapore nanosatellite to operate in Low Earth’s Orbit (LEO). It is part of NTU’s Undergraduate Satellite Program, which provides an opportunity for engineering students to participate in a multidisciplinary hands-on space project. Besides educational objective, VELOX-I also contributes to the nanosatellite research with its technology demonstration and scientific payloads.

Mission Objectives
- to launch the first Singapore’s nanosatellite VELOX-I, which is designed, built, and operated by students from different schools in the College of Engineering, NTU.
- to acquire images of Earth and transmit them back to ground station. A narrow angle camera with tele-optics is used to provide high-resolution images of Earth from LEO.
- to carry out experiments relevant to technology demonstration.Payloads include: a vision system, a dual-FOV sun sensor.
- to piggyback launch a picosatellite (VELOX-PIII) for intersatellite communication experiment.
