Aalto-1 was a Finnish research nanosatellite, created by students of Aalto University. Based on the CubeSat architecture, it was originally scheduled to be launched in 2013, it was launched on 23 June 2017. It was Finland's first student satellite project and indigenously produced satellite (it was the first Finnish satellite that started development but not the first launched as the second satellite in the Aalto-series, Aalto-2, launched before Aalto-1).[1] As of 2021, the satellite was operational.[2]

The satellite's mission ended as it re-entered the atmosphere on 1 September 2024.[3][4]
