Our Story

From the classrooms of UNI,
we look towards the stars

It all started with a shared dream: to prove that Peruvian students can conquer space. Not as spectators, but as protagonists of our own aerospace history.

In 2018, a group of students from the National University of Engineering decided it was time to act. Thus, the Chasqui II project was born, named in honor of the messengers of the Inca empire who traveled thousands of kilometers carrying vital information.

Today, our CubeSat will carry that innovative spirit beyond our atmosphere, demonstrating that limits only exist to be overcome.
