TigriSat is a CubeSat built in 2014 by a team of Iraqi students at the La Sapienza University of Rome.[1][2] It uses an RGB camera to detect dust storms over Iraq, and transmits the data to ground stations in Baghdad and Rome.[3] It is considered Iraq's first satellite.[4] It was launched from Orenburg on June 19, 2014 on a Dnepr launch vehicle.[1] It was deployed using a UniSat-6. As of July 2019, it remains operational.
