Abstract: Understanding de Sitter space in supergravity - and string theory - has lead to an intense amount of work for more than two decades, largely motivated by the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe in 1998. In this paper, we consider a non-trivial generalisation of unimodular gravity to minimal N = 1 supergravity, which allows for de Sitter solutions without the need of introducing any matter. We formulate a superspace version of the Stuckelberg procedure, which restores diffeomorphism and local supersymmetry invariance. This introduces the goldstino associated to spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry in a natural way. The cosmological constant and gravitino mass are related to the vacuum expectation value of the components of a Lagrange multiplier imposing a super-unimodularity condition.
