CubeSat
A CubeSat ( U-class spacecraft ) [1] is a type of miniaturized satellite for space research that is made up of multiples of 10×10×10 cm cubic units. CubeSats have a mass of no more than 1.33 kilograms per unit, [2] and often use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for their electronics and structure. CubeSats are commonly put in orbit by deployers on the International Space Station , or launched as secondary payload s on a launch vehicle . [3] Over 800 CubeSats have been launched as of April 2018. [4]

CubeSat is a type of space satellite with dimensions of 10x10x10 centimeter, weighing roughly 1 kilogram and typically using off-the-shelf electronic components. Currently, several universities around the world are actively developing CubeSats. With its relatively small size, CubeSats can be made and launched for an estimated $65,000 to $80,000 ( 2004 dollars). Most CubeSats carry one or two scientific instruments as its primary mission. A few CubeSat projects have a limited propulsion system, for example the CubeSat project of the University of Illinois uses an array of small ion thrusters . |
