F-1 is a CubeSat built by FSpace laboratory at FPT University, in Hanoi, Vietnam, in partnership with Angstrom Space Technology Center (ASTC), Uppsala University, Sweden and Nanoracks LLC, United States. Its mission is to train young engineers and students about aerospace engineering and evaluate an advanced three-axis magnetometer, Spin-Dependent Tunneling Magnetometer (SDTM) designed in Sweden by ASTC.{{cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/f-1.htm|title=F-1|publisher=Gunter's Space Page |last=Gunter|first=Dirk Krebs|date=28 January 2020|access-date=13 January 2021}}

F-1 was launched on 21 July 2012 and delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Kounotori 3 (HTV-3) along with the RAIKO, WE WISH, Niwaka and TechEdSat-1 cubesats. Then, on 4 October 2012, it was deployed into orbit from the ISS using the JEM-Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) which was attached to the Kibō module's robotic arm.{{cite web|url=http://news.mynavi.jp/articles/2012/01/25/j-ssod/index.html|title=JAXA、宇宙ステーションから超小型衛星を放出できる装置をプレス公開|publisher=mynavi.jp|author=大塚実|language=ja|date=25 January 2012
