Mission: Arsene-OSCAR 24 was a French packet relay satellite built by French Radio Amateur Club de l'Espace. The packet system was never implemented because the 2 meter transponder failed soon after launch. Arsene was then used to relay SSB and CW signals on 2.4 GHz for several months until this transponder failed as well.

KO-25 was operated from The Satellite Technology Research Center (SaTReC) in South Korea. It was later designated KITSAT-OSCAR-25 once in orbit.
KO-25's mission was to take CCD pictures, process numerical information, measure radiation and receive and forward messages. The Infrared Sensor Experiment (IREX) was designed to acquire I/V characteristics of IR sensors. A passive cooling structure was devised for this experiment where ground controllers monitored the temperature of the experiment.

Mission: PoSAT-1 is Portugal's first satellite achieved through a technology transfer program with Surrey Satellite Technology, Ltd. (SSTL). PoSAT-1 was built at the University of Surrey in a collaborative program between a consortium of Portuguese academia and industry.  The Portugese consortium sent 4 engineers to Surrey to participate in on-the-job training.  Like KITSAT-1, PoSAT-1 carries a wide range of technology experiments, including earth imaging cameras, DSP and space-radiation experiments. In addition, PoSAT-1 carries the first microsatellite GPS experiment and an ultra-low-cost CCD star sensor. It is operated jointly by the University of Surrey command station at Guildford and the Portugese command station at Sintra. PoSAT was operated on amateur frequencies for several weeks in early 1994.
