Technical support was provided by Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency and it was launched from the International Space Station[3] after being delivered to the station by a SpaceX falcon 9 rocket. BackgroundThe idea to have a Kenyan built satellite in space began in September 2015 with the planning and design of the space module. Financial support was obtained for the project when the University of Nairobi won a competitive grant from the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) in 2016.[4] The University of Nairobi was the first institution to benefit from a joint project between the United Nations and JAXA.[4] The satellite was given the acronym 1KUNS-PF which in full is First Kenya University Nano Satellite-Precursor Flight. External technical support was provided by Sapienza University together with two Italian companies.[5] The cost of the programme was about a million dollars.[5] The satellite orbits 400 kilometers above the earth.[6] Launch and purposeOn 2 April 2018, the satellite was carried on the International Space Station onboard a SpaceX CRS-14 which was launched on a Falcon 9 rocket with help from the National Aeronautic and Space Administration.[7] It was deployed from the space station into its orbit from the Kibō module on 11 May 2018.[4] Its signal was successfully received from the Ground Station in Rome by the students of Sapienza University of Rome. Its launch is the third for an African country after GhanaSat-1 and Nigeria EduSat-1 which went into service in 2017.[8][9] In addition to 1KUNS-PF two other nano satellites, Ubakusat and Proyecto Irazú were also onboard the Falcon-9 rocket to the ISS. All three satellites were deployed into space from the ISS by Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai.[4] The 1KUNS-PF is a nano-satellite with the size of a coffee cup.[3] Its operation will include the mapping of Kenya's land mass, the monitoring of the coastline and helping combat illegal logging activities.[3] The satellite will orbit the earth for about 12 to 18 months before de-orbiting and burning up in the atmosphere.[8] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://orbit-tracker.com/satellite/43467|title=1KUNS-PF {{!}} Orbit Tracker|last=Tracker|first=Orbit|website=orbit-tracker.com|access-date=18 May 2018}}{{Dead link|date=March 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} {{Orbital launches in 2018}}2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.technologyreview.com/the-download/611127/kenyas-first-satellite-is-now-in-earth-orbit/|title=Kenya's first satellite is now in Earth orbit|work=MIT Technology Review|access-date=12 May 2018|language=en}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-africa-44028283|title=Africa Live this week:|last=|first=|date=|work=BBC News|access-date=12 May 2018|language=en-GB}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{Cite news|url=https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/05/12/national/science-health/kenyas-first-satellite-released-japans-kibo-module-iss/|title=Kenya's first satellite released from Japan's Kibo module at ISS|date=12 May 2018|work=The Japan Times Online|access-date=17 May 2018|language=en-US|issn=0447-5763}} 5. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.voanews.com/a/kenya-satellite-launch/4394281.html|title=Kenya Steps Into Space with First Satellite Launch|last=Schearf|first=Daniel|work=VOA|access-date=17 May 2018|language=en}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://cae.uonbi.ac.ke/sites/default/files/cae/engineering/engineering/1KUNS-PF_Cubesat_1.0_rev3.pdf|title=1KUNS-PF|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=18 May 2018}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.n2yo.com/satellite-news/Kenyas-First-Locally-Made-Nanosatellite-Will-Be-Launched-From-ISS-in-May/4959|title=Kenya's first locally made nanosatellite will be launched from ISS in May|website=N2YO.com – Real Time Satellite Tracking and Predictions|access-date=18 May 2018}} 8. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/article/2001280088/kenya-deploys-its-first-satellite|title=Cheers as Kenya's first satellite sent to space|last=Ngasike|first=Kenneth Kipruto and Lucas|work=The Standard|access-date=17 May 2018|language=en}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.pulse.ng/bi/tech/4-african-countries-with-satellites-in-the-orbit-id8078677.html|title=4 African countries with satellites in the orbit|last=Taiwo|first=Shakirudeen|access-date=17 May 2018|language=en-US}} 9 : Artificial satellites orbiting Earth|CubeSats|First artificial satellite of a country|Science and technology in Kenya|Spacecraft launched in 2018|Spacecraft launched by Falcon rockets|Student satellites|Satellites deployed from the International Space Station|2018 in Kenya |
