The Solar irradiance and Earth Radiation Budget (SERB) mission is an innovative proof-of-concept nano-satellite, with three ambitious scientific objectives. The nano-satellite aims at measuring on the same platform the absolute value of the total solar irradiance (TSI) and its variability, the ultraviolet (UV) solar spectral vari-ability, and the different components of the Earth radiation budget. SERB is a joint project between CNES (Centre National d Etudes Spatiales) Ecole polytechnique, and LATMOS (LaboratoireAtmosp eres, Milieux, Observations Spatiales) scheduled for a launch in 2020–2021. It is a three-unit CubeSat (X-CubeSat II), de-veloped by students fro Ecole polytechnique. Critical components of instrumental payloads of future large missions (coatings, UV filters, etc.) can acquire the technical maturity by flying in a CubeSat. Nano-satellites also represent an excellent alternative for instrumentation testing, allowing for longer flights than rockets. More-over, specific scientific experiments can be performed by nano-satellites. This paper is intended to present the SERB mission and its scientific objectives.
