CP6, also known as CP6 CubeSat, CalPoly CP-6, PolySat-6 or PolySat CP6 is a single-unit CubeSat which was built and operated by the California Polytechnic State University (CalPoly). It was primarily intended to perform a technology demonstration mission.
SBUDNIC was launched to test Arduino Nano and other commercial off-the-shelf technology in space, using a simple, open-source design. [2]An ambitious project is the QB50, an international network of 50 CubeSats for multi-point by different universities and other teams, in-situ measurements in the lower thermosphere (90–350 km) and re-entry research.
Ncube-2, a Norwegian CubeSat (10 cm (3.9 in) cube). A CubeSat is a class of small satellite with a form factor of 10 cm (3.9 in) cubes. [1] CubeSats have a mass of no more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per unit, [2] and often use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for their electronics and structure.
DAVE is a 1U CubeSat spacecraft, measuring approximately 10x10x11cm. The spacecraft was integrated into a PPOD (Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer) alongside the University of Central Florida's SurfSat. [9] Fixed solar panels on the sides of the spacecraft provide power to the avionics and transmitter.
In 2022, Puig-Suari was inducted into the Space Foundation's Space Technology Hall of Fame for his work developing and popularizing the CubeSat standard. [5] That same year, Puig-Suari was also awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi , one of the highest civil distinctions awarded in Catalonia, by the Generalitat de Catalunya .
The CubeSat concept was first developed in 1999 by a collaborative team of California Polytechnic State University and Stanford University, and the specifications, for use by anyone planning to launch a CubeSat-style nanosatellite, are maintained by this group. [35]
Robert J. Twiggs (born November 27, 1935) is an American professor of Astronautics and Space Science at Morehead State University. [1] He is responsible, along with Jordi Puig-Suari of California Polytechnic State University, for co-inventing the CubeSat reference design for miniaturized satellites [2] [3] which became an Industry Standard for design and deployment of the satellites.
TechEdSat-4 was a 3U CubeSat mission developed, integrated, and tested at NASA Ames Research Center in partnership with student interns from San Jose State University (SJSU) in California and the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. The objective of the TechEdSat-4 mission was to demonstrate new technologies including satellite-to-satellite ...
