UTIAS Space Flight Laboratory (SFL)

CA

The UTIAS Space Flight Laboratory (SFL), established in 1998 at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS), is a premier microspace organization that builds low-cost microsatellites and nanosatellites. SFL focuses on developing novel technologies for small spacecraft and offers complete end-to-end mission capabilities, including launch arrangements via its Nanosatellite Launch Service (NLS) and a mission control center. They collaborate with business, government, and academic institutions and train the next generation of aerospace engineers.
