UNISEC is a non-profitable organization to support practical space development activities in universities and colleges, such as small satellite and hybrid rockets. In April 2002, two organizations “UNISAT (University Satellite Consortium)” and “Hybrid rocket group” in Japan merged and obtained corporate status, for more effective and sustainable activities. At the present, the UNISEC chairperson is Dr. Tetsuo Yasaka. [1]
