Successful  Example  –Bulgarian  
case
Sofia  University,  member  of  Bulgarian  Cluster  
Aerospace  Technologies,  Research  and  Applica)ons  
(CASTRA),  par)cipated  in  MIC2  ,  and  their  small  
satellite  mission  idea  -­‐  “  A  Small  Communica)on  
Satellite  Mission  for  Enhancement  of  Antarc)c  
Inves)ga)ons“  was  selected  in  the  group  of  MIC2  
semi-­‐finalists.  The  par)cipa)on  in  MIC2  helped  the  
team  to  prepare  and  win  successfully  a  proposal  for  
funding  to  implement  the  mission  through  a  joint  
Bulgarian  Government-­‐  European  Union  grant,  and  
the  project  is  in  the  implementa)on  phase  now.

Vision  
•  The  Global  University  Space  Engineering  
Consor)um  (UNISEC-­‐Global)  envisions  a  world  
where  space  science  and  technology  are  used  
by  individuals  and  ins)tu)ons  in  every  
country,  rich  or  poor,  and  offers  opportuni)es  
across  the  whole  structure  of  society  –  
whether  academic,  industrial  or  educa)onal  –  
for  peaceful  purposes  and  for  the  benefit  of  
humankind.

MISSION
The  UNISEC-­‐Global  will  create  an  environment  
that  will  promote  the  free  exchange  of  ideas,  
informa)on  and  capabili)es  rela)ng  to  space  
engineering  and  its  applica)ons,  especially  for  
young  people,  including  those  in  developing  
countries  and  emerging  economies.

Structure
1.  UNISEC-­‐Global  is  an  interna)onal  non-­‐profit  organiza)on  
to  facilitate  and  promote  prac)cal  space  development  
ac)vi)es  at  university  level,  such  as  designing,  developing,  
manufacturing,  launching  and  opera)ng  micro/nano/pico  
satellites  and  rockets,  including  their  payloads.
2.  UNISEC-­‐Global  Members  are  universi)es,  university  
groups,  academic  or  educa)onal  organiza)ons.  
3.  UNISEC-­‐Global  Members  may  organize  themselves  into  
Local  Chapters  that  provide  coordina)on  at  the  country  or  
regional  level.
4.  UNISEC-­‐Global  ac)vi)es  are  coordinated  by  the  UNISEC-­‐
Global  Secretariat.
5.  The  execu)ve  organ  of  UNISEC-­‐Global  is  the  Steering  
Commimee.

Implementa)on
1.  Members  of  UNISEC-­‐Global  must  make  a  con)nuous  effort  to  
promote  project-­‐based  space  educa)on.
2.  Members  of  UNISEC-­‐Global  should  make  every  effort  to  ensure  that  
their  respec)ve  policy  and  decision-­‐makers  understand  the  
importance  of  space  educa)on  and  support  their  ac)vi)es.
3.  Members  of  UNISEC-­‐Global  should  share  their  ac)vi)es  openly  so  that  
other  members  can  benefit  from  their  experiences,  know-­‐how,  
problem  solving  techniques  and  skills.
4.  Each  Local  Chapter  will  nominate  one  or  two  organiza)ons  (typically  a  
University)  and  Point-­‐Of-­‐Contact  (POC)  therein  as  their  representa)ve  
to  coordinate  other  par)cipants.  The  internal  structure  of  the  Local  
Chapters  in  UNISEC-­‐Global  can  be  implemented  independently,  
reflec)ng  the  local  condi)ons.
5.  The  UNISEC-­‐Global  Secretariat  shall  have  no  responsibility  for  the  legal  
or  financial  ac)vi)es  of  the  members.  All  financial  or  other  legal  
responsibili)es  of  the  ac)vi)es  of  UNISEC-­‐Global  members  or  local  
chapters  shall  be  assumed  solely  by  themselves.

Condi)ons  of  UNISEC  Local  Chapter  
1.  A  Local  Chapter  is  called  UNISEC-­‐XXXX.
2.  A  Local  Chapter  selects  a  responsible  person  and  a  student  
representa)ve.
3.  A  Local  Chapter  secures  two  or  more  than  two  universi)es  as  
its  membership.
4.  Each  university  has  a  responsible  teaching  staff  (at  a  
professor  level)  and  a  student  representa)ve,  together  with  
a  list  of  student  members.
5.  A  member  fee  for  the  local  chapter  is  important  to  keep  a  
sense  of  belonging  and  is  fixed  accordingly.  It  may  be  
possible  to  waiver  its  fee  for  a  while  if  needed.
6.  A  website  of  the  local  chapter  is  recommendable  for  
publishing  its  ac)vi)es.  
7.  Each  local  chapter  has  to  report  its  local  ac)vi)es  annually  to  
UNISEC-­‐Global  secretariat  for  archival  purposes.

Our  thoughts  on  Local  Chapter
•  We  are  not  in  a  rush  to  establish  a  local  chapter,  
rather  we  would  be  going  in  a  steady  direc)on.  
•  The  setup  of  a  local  chapter  would  be  dependent  
on  how  much  need  there  is  towards  UNISEC  in  
the  region  or  the  country.  In  other  words,  it  may  
be  advisable  to  establish  a  local  chapter  when  
they  recognize  its  needs  or  merits  by  taking  into  
considera)on  the  development  of  the  region/
country.
•  Moreover,  we  should  be  flexible  about  the  size  of  
a  local  chapter  which  manages  a  specific  area,  a  
country  or  the  one  with  more  than  a  country.

Conclusion
•  The  present  paper  describes  the  concept  of  
“University  Space  Engineering  Consor)um”  or  
UNISEC  as  a  node  of  a  large  network.    
•  The  node  is  the  local  UNISEC  in  each  region/
country  and  the  networks  that  manage  the  
communica)on  between  the  nodes  and  
addi)on  of  new  nodes  to  achieve  the  
designated  ac)vi)es  is  the  UNISEC-­‐Global.
