PocketQube

Our PocketQube is a miniaturized satellite platform measuring just 5x5x5 cm (1P), designed for ultra-low-cost space missions. Despite its compact size, the system supports essential subsystems such as communication, power, and data handling, making it ideal for technology validation, scientific experiments, and educational applications.

Developed with scalability and accessibility in mind, the PocketQube opens new possibilities for institutions and startups to conduct space-based research without the high costs of traditional satellites.

This platform reflects our commitment to democratizing space, offering hands-on experience in small satellite development and deployment.

CanSat

Our CanSat is a miniature satellite model designed for hands-on aerospace education and technology testing. Built to fit within the volume of a standard soda can, it simulates the core functions of a satellite—such as data collection, communication, and deployment mechanisms—during atmospheric descent.

The CanSat serves as an entry point for students and early-career engineers to gain real-world experience in system design, sensor integration, and telemetry. It’s used in educational programs, workshops, and competitions to promote STEM learning and practical aerospace skills.

Compact, cost-effective, and highly customizable, the CanSat is a powerful tool for building foundational knowledge in space systems.

CubeSat 

Our CubeSat is a compact 1U-class satellite designed for space research, technology demonstration, and educational missions. Built for flexibility and performance, the system integrates essential subsystems for communication, power, and onboard data handling in a standardized form factor.

This 1U CubeSat is set to launch in collaboration with Interorbital Systems, offering a cost-effective pathway to orbit. The mission will serve as a platform for testing custom payloads, validating design concepts, and expanding access to space-based applications.

Designed and engineered in-house, the CubeSat reflects our commitment to accessible, scalable space technology.

CIPR and Byurakan Observatory Sign Strategic Partnership to Advance Space and Astronomical Research

On March 28, 2025, the Byurakan Observatory (BA) of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, represented by its Director Areg Mikayelyan, and the Center for the Promotion and Research of Innovation (CIPR) LLC, represented by its Founding Director Marie Hrachuhi Poghosyan, formalized their collaboration by signing a memorandum of understanding.

This partnership aims to foster technological innovation and promote the growth of a knowledge-driven economy by advancing modern technologies and developing specialized equipment for space exploration and astronomical research.

The signing of this memorandum marks a significant milestone in enhancing collaborative efforts and launching new initiatives in the field of astronomy.

Armenian Engineers and Scientists Association Northeast Branch 11th Annual Banquet

As part of its longstanding tradition, AESA-NE recognized distinguished individuals of Armenian descent, or those closely connected to Armenia, who have made significant contributions in their professional fields, especially in STEM. Hovhannes Mardirossian, AESA-NE’s Science and Technology Chairman, introduced this year’s Guest of Honor, Dr. Mary Hrachoohi Boghosian. A recipient of numerous Excellence Awards and the Founder and Director of Armenia’s Center for Innovation Promotion and Research, Dr. Boghosian was celebrated for her distinguished career in aerospace science and engineering, spanning decades at NASA, the Aerospace Corporation, and most recently in Armenia.

In her keynote speech, Dr. Boghosian captivated the audience with a compelling account of her efforts to advance Armenia’s space program since 2015, which led to the successful launch of CubeSat satellites. (CubeSats are small satellites, typically 10 x 10 x 10 cm in size, that operate in low Earth orbit and beyond.)
