PAUSAT-1, the 8th satellite made by ITU-USTTL, was designed and developed in collaboration with Air University Pakistan. It was successfully placed in its orbit at 500 km on January 14, 2025, as part of the Transporter 12 mission by the SpaceX-Falcon 9 rocket.

With the successful placement of PAUSAT-1, designed and developed in collaboration with ITU and Air University Pakistan, a total of 8 Turkish-made satellites have been successfully placed in Earth's orbit as of January 14.

The PAUSAT-1 CubeSat, with a ground sampling resolution of 1.5 meters and a size of 16U (24 kg), is among the largest and most advanced CubeSats in the world.
