Minisat 01 is the first of a series of small satellites developed by INTA in Spain. In this case, it as a multi- purpose scientific mission. It was successfully launched on April 21 of last year using a Pegasus rocket. Minisat 01 caries on-board a payload with two astronomical instruments: EURD and LEGRI. EURD is a high sensitivity double spectrometer for the measurement of diffuse cosmic radiation in the extreme UV range, from 350 to 1100 angstrom. LEGRI is a hard x-ray imaging telescope with a coded mask and an array of HgI(subscript 2) and CdZnTe detectors. News about the performance of Minisat 01 in orbit and its scientific results are presented together with a brief description of the instrumental and their main objectives. The continuation of the program is ensured by several future Minisat missions, now under development or study.
