Engineering:UASAT
UASAT is a planned low-earth orbit satellite internet constellation of Ukraine. The project aims to launch 120 satellites into orbit by 2027, with the first satellite launch scheduled for October 2026, and is intended to reduce the country's reliance on foreign constellations such as Starlink.[1][2]
Proposal
The constellation is planned to operate at an altitude of 550 km, and will provide coverage over Europe, North Africa, and portions of the Middle East. Terminals will use the Hughes Network Systems Jupiter 3 DVB-S2X platform in the Ka band, with anticipated download and upload speeds of up to 100Mbit/s and 10Mbit/s respectively. The terminals will also be expected to be compatible with Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb platforms. Manufacturing will be supported by GomSpace until the satellites can be manufactured domestically in Ukraine.[1][2][3]
Ukraine filed an application with the International Telecommunication Union to register the UASAT-NANO satellite network in December 2025. UASAT founder Dmytro Stetsenko states that the first satellite is scheduled to launch in October 2026.[4]
