UAPSat 1 (Universidad Alas Peruanas Satellite) is a Peruvian satellite built by the Institute for Radio Astronomy of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (INRAS-PUCP).

The 1 gg satellite is built on the 1U-CubeSat form factor. It is powered by fixed solar cells on each side to charge their batteries. It carries a minicomputer, radio transmitters and receivers, a power control system and magnets to align the satellite with Earth's magnetic field. UAPSat-1 transmits telemetry information consisting of internal and external temperature, voltage and current data of the spacecraft by amateur radio.

It was launched on board of Cygnus CRS-1 to the International Space Station. It was deployed on 28 February 2014 from the Kibo airlock by Nanoracks deployers, but no signals were received.
