Singapore\u2019s newest satellite will be the result of a new Singapore-Japan partnership.<\/span>

Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is partnering Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech), which has one of Japan\u2019s most established university space engineering programmes, to build and launch a new satellite.<\/span>

Named AOBA VELOX-III, the new nanosatellite weighing two kilogrammes will be launched by Japan’s national agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in 2016.<\/span>

The satellite will be launched to the International Space Station, the 110 metre habitable human-made satellite that orbits Earth, for a subsequent injection into its orbit 400 kilometres above sea level.<\/span>

This joint satellite development programme, the first such partnership between universities from both countries, was announced at a press conference held at Kyutech in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
