AlSat-1N (AlSat-Nano)

AlSat-1N, also known as AlSat-Nano, is a 3U CubeSat technology-demonstration mission developed through Algerian and UK programme partners.^[1]^[2] It launched on 2016-09-26 on PSLV-C35 into sun-synchronous low Earth orbit.^[1] The payload set included the C3D2 camera, the SpaceMag-PV magnetometer payload, and a thin-film solar-cell material demonstration.^[3] Its Earth-imaging role is limited: the camera payload could take Earth imagery, while the mission objective was primarily training and spacecraft technology demonstration rather than routine operational imaging service.^[3]^[2]
