LEDSAT (LED-based small SATellite) is a 1-Unit CubeSat project conceived by the Sapienza - Space Systems and Space Surveillance Laboratory (S5Lab) research team at Sapienza - University of Rome, with the collaboration of the University of Michigan (USA). The project has been accepted for the European Space Agency Fly Your Satellite! Programme, it is under development with the support of the Italian Space Agency (in the framework of the IKUNS project) and it will be launched within 2020.

LEDSAT (LED-based small SATellite) is a 1-Unit CubeSat project equipped with a LED- (Light Emitting Diode-) - based payload, carried out by the S5Lab (Sapienza Space System and Space Surveillance Laboratory) research team. The satellite mission, conceived with the University of Michigan, has been accepted for the European Space Agency Fly Your Satellite! Programme and it will be launched in 2019. The project is primarily addressed at verifying and improving the current methodologies for satellites and space debris orbit determination by means of optical observations.

LEDSAT (LED-based small SATellite) is a 1-Unit CubeSat that will mount Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on its six faces, in order to validate, verify and improve the current methodologies for optical orbit determination. The LEDs will also support the CubeSat identification after deployment from the ISS. The satellite is being produced by the S5Lab research group at Sapienza - University of Rome, and it has been accepted for the European Space Agency Fly Your Satellite Programme.
