New Mexican Satellite System “SCMI”, in space in 2025 with “GuaraniSat-2” / @SICT_mx >>>

#SICT.- The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (SICT) through the Mexican Space Agency (AEM) announced with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) a new breakthrough of proprietary technology developed for satellites, which will go into space this 2025.

“The AEM managed an agreement for a new Mexican “Command and Management Information System” (SCMI) for Nanosatellites, to be launched on the “GuaraniSat-2” of the Paraguayan Space Agency (AEP), in October 2025,” said the general director of the AEM, Salvador Landeros Ayala.

This Mexican device, developed by members of the Laboratory of Electronic Instrumentation of Space Systems (LIESE) of the School of Engineering (FI-UNAM) and the AEM, was successfully tested at the University of the Republic of Uruguay, in Montevideo, in March 2024.

The system, by teacher and doctoral student Aldair Lara Tenorio (designer), Dr. Saúl de la Rosa Nieves (coordinator) and 12 students involved, is now preparing to see the stars by participating in its first space mission.

Through this space trip, the researchers will be able to measure the SCMI’s responsiveness to radiation-induced effects and its fault-tolerant architecture, as well as run an algorithm to determine the satellite’s orientation developed by the AEM.

Next January, the academics will travel to the South American country to participate in integration tests with the satellite over several days. Subsequently, the system will be taken to Japan for complementary procedures.
