The winners are in for the GrabCad CubeSat Challenge, which asked designers to rethink the way that CubeSats are built.These tiny 10 cm square satellites are the hot thing in orbit, and the ...

You’ll see that CubeSats use a U designator to indicate their size. Each U is a cube measuring 100mm — about 4 inches — on a side. So a 2U satellite would be the same size as two 1U ...

Imperial College is developing a rocket thruster called the Iridium Catalysed Electrolysis CubeSat Thruster (ICE-Cube Thruster) that is so small that it can only be fabricated using techniques ...

Cubesats are miniature satellites that have been used exclusively in low Earth orbit for 15 years, and are now being used for interplanetary missions as well. In the beginning, they were commonly ...

CubeSats—miniature, agile and cheap satellites—are revolutionizing how scientists study the cosmos. Most CubeSats weigh less than a bowling ball, and some are small enough to hold in your hand.

Rubik’s-cube-sized CubeSats are nifty, cheap way to study space, but they’re limited to low orbits – until now. Los Alamos researchers have created a safe and innovative rocket motor that ...

Remember that’s why the CubeSat was invented in the first place. “Cal Poly is known for ‘learn by doing’ and sort of hands-on education. And the CubeSat is in my mind, one of the great embodiments of ...

The instrument makes it possible for University of Delaware students to develop and test CubeSat research satellites for a 2026 NASA launch. Making Delaware-in-space history. Article by Beth Miller ...

CubeSats – miniature, agile and cheap satellites – are revolutionizing how scientists study the cosmos. A standard-size CubeSat is tiny, about 4 pounds (roughly 2 kilograms).

Most CubeSats weigh less than a bowling ball, and some are small enough to hold in your hand. But the impact these instruments are having on space exploration is gigantic. CubeSats—miniature ...
