Meet our team  

Our satellite design team consists of four mentors and six members from three laboratories: the DCLab at the ITC, in Cambodia, and the Kojiro Suzuki Laboratory and the Intelligent Space Systems Laboratory (ISSL) at UTokyo, in Japan.  During the UT-ITC Cube Satellite project,  we  have collaborated to create a 1U CubeSat design called Apsara-1. Our design team members are from four countries, and we recognised in this diversity an opportunity to learn about other cultures, both within and beyond Cambodia. In addition, we are supported by the NPIC in Cambodia, which is providing ground facilities for this project.
