Educational satellites

Educational satellites are specially designed spacecraft used as tools to teach students and the public about space technology, satellite operations, and Earth observation. They serve educational purposes by demonstrating satellite design, data collection, and communication processes. Often launched as part of academic programs or development projects, these satellites provide hands-on learning experiences for students and researchers while also supporting scientific research or international collaboration. In essence, they combine education with space technology, making space exploration more accessible and fostering the next generation of scientists and engineers.
