The University of the Valley of Guatemala (UVG) is an educational institution that has expanded into the space industry by designing, developing, and operating CubeSat-class satellites. Their initial project, Quetzal-1, was Guatemala's first satellite, deployed from the International Space Station in 2020 to test a multispectral sensor for remote sensing and natural resource management. UVG's space-related activities aim to develop the country's human capital in space science and technology and enable independent acquisition of remote sensing data. They are involved in CubeSat development, space research, and STEM education.
