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.
After delays from low-cost launchers such as Interorbital Systems, [73] launch prices have been about $100,000 per unit, [74] [75] but newer operators are offering lower pricing. [76] A typical price to launch a 1U cubesat with a full service contract (including end-to-end integration, licensing, transportation etc.) was about $60,000 in 2021.
During the development of the Estonian satellite mission it was decided to make a 1U CubeSat. By standard 1 unit (1U) CubeSat base side length must be 100.0±0.1 millimeters and satellite height must be 113.5±0.1 mm. Mass is also set in CubeSat standard, the highest possible mass for 1U CubeSat is 1300 grams.
ESTCube-1 1U CubeSat. A small satellite, miniaturized satellite, or smallsat is a satellite of low mass and size, usually under 1,200 kg (2,600 lb). [1] While all such satellites can be referred to as "small", different classifications are used to categorize them based on mass.
ITF-1, also known as Yui, was an amateur radio cubesat built by Tsukuba University of Japan. It had a size of 100x100x100mm (without antenna) and was built around a standard 1U cubesat bus. The satellite's primary purpose was the raising awareness of space by providing an easily decoded signal to amateur radio receivers.
[4] [5] [6] It weighs approximately 1 kg and is built in the CubeSat (1U) format. [7] It consists of sensors designed to understand the specific conditions in space [4] [8] and is powered by a combination of batteries and solar panels. [7] [9] Hayasat-1 has a cube-shaped form, measuring 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters. [10]
HawkSat-1 was a single-unit CubeSat which was built and is being operated by the Hawk Institute for Space Sciences (HISS), Pocomoke City, Maryland.It is based on a Pumpkin Inc. CubeSat kit, and carries a technology demonstration payload, primarily as a proof of concept mission, testing command, data and power subsystems, as well as solar panels and communications.
RSP-01 was Ryman Sat Project's second satellite. It was a 1U CubeSat weighing around 1.3 kg, and was equipped with an arm that could extend up to 10 cm. [4] The CubeSat had three transceivers. [2] The on board computer used Arduino and Raspberry Pi. [5] The project began in 2017, and development was completed by 2020.
