ArduSat is an open source, Arduino based Nanosatellite, based on the CubeSat standard. It contains a set of Arduino boards and sensors. The general public will be allowed to use these Arduinos and sensors for their own creative purposes while they are in space.

ArduSat is created by Nanosatisfi LLC, an aerospace company which in the word of Phil Plait has "the goal to democratize access to space" and was founded by 4 graduate students from the International Space University in 2012.

ArduSat is the first open source satellite which will provide such open access to the general public to space.
