Aalto-1 was a Finnish research nanosatellite, created by students of Aalto University.

It was Finland's first student satellite project and indigenously produced satellite (it was the first Finnish satellite that started development but not the first launched as the second satellite in the Aalto-series, Aalto-2, launched before Aalto-1). As of 2021, the satellite was operational.
