NARIT-Cube-1 [NARIT]
NARIT-Cube-1 (National Astronomical Research Institute CubeSat 1), a 3U CubeSat built by the National Astronomical Research Institute (NARIT), served as a demonstration mission to prove that Thai engineers can construct a satellite entirely with domestically sourced and COTS (Commercial-off-the-shelf) components.
Note: The inclusion of the NARIT-Cube-1 satellite in this launch has not been officially confirmed. However, since one of the 3U satellites on KAIROS was not named in the announcement but was intended for launch on that rocket in July 2024, it has been tentatively added here.
