CubeSats are small, cube-shaped satellites that typically measure 10x10x10 centimeters and weigh around 1.33 kilograms per unit. They are designed for various space missions, including Earth observation, scientific research, and technology demonstration. Their compact size allows for cost-effective launches, often as secondary payloads on larger rockets. These satellites are built using standardized components, making them easier to manufacture and deploy. CubeSats can be assembled in different configurations, with multiple units combined to form larger satellites. They have become popular in academia and industry, enabling more organizations to participate in space exploration and research.
