UoSAT-1 was launched in 1981 into a low Earth polar orbit, controlled by the groundstation at the University of Surrey and supporting a worldwide community of experimenters. Still operational after six years in orbit, UoSAT-1 has experienced operational problems which have been overcome through imaginative use of the extremely flexible spacecraft system architecture. These problems and their solution, as well as the successes - since more of value is often learned from adversity than immediate success - are described.
