CPUT is a public university in Cape Town, South Africa, with active small-satellite research and operator work around CubeSat missions and buses.[1][2] Its ZACube activity includes ZACube-1, also known as TshepisoSat, launched in 2013 for educational and space-weather work, and ZACube-2, launched in 2018 with AIS and imaging payloads.[3][2] For EO procurement, CPUT is most relevant as a university builder, operator, and training institution for small-satellite capability, not as a commercial imagery reseller.[1][2]
