Nanosatellite Launch System
The Nanosatellite Launch System (NLS) is a series of satellite launch missions launched 2003–2010, coordinated by the Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS).
NLS has provided low-cost launch services for a number of nanosatellites.[1]
