The mission is under development as a partnership between SpaceLab/UFSC, INPE, and the Brazilian Space Agency. It is a data collection mission, and an in-orbit technology demonstration for the Environmental Data Collection (EDC) module developed by INPE-RN. The modules designed by the SpaceLab team for the GOLDS-UFSC mission are based on the FloripaSat bus, and are employed also in other missions as Aldebaran-I and the Catarina Constellation.
