The number of joined units classifies the size of CubeSats and according to the CubeSat Design Specification are scalable along only one axis to fit the forms of 0.5U, 1U, 1.5U, 2U, or 3U. All the standard sizes of CubeSat have been built and launched, and represent the form factors for nearly all launched CubeSats as of 2015. [ 30 ]
KySat-1 was a single-unit CubeSat picosatellite which was built as part of a programme to involve and interest schoolchildren in spaceflight. Children would have been given access to the satellite; uploading and downloading data and using a camera aboard the spacecraft to produce images of the Earth .
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.
Hayasat-1 (in Armenian: Հայասաթ-1) is an Armenian nano-satellite developed by Bazoomq Space Research Laboratory and CSIE (Center for Scientific Innovation and Education) in the CubeSat format. It is the second Armenian satellite to be launched into orbit, but the first one designed and created entirely by Armenians.
F-1 was launched on 21 July 2012 and delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Kounotori 3 (HTV-3) along with the RAIKO, WE WISH, Niwaka and TechEdSat-1 cubesats. Then, on 4 October 2012, it was deployed into orbit from the ISS using the JEM-Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) which was attached to the Kibō module's ...
DRAGONSat was the first 1U Cubesat built by midshipmen. The primary payload was a gravity-gradient boom that extended a tip mass 1.5 meters from the satellite. DRAGONSat before payload integration. The opening for the extending boom can be seen on the left side of the satellite.
EQUiSat was a 1U (one unit) CubeSat designed and built by Brown Space Engineering (formerly Brown CubeSat Team), an undergraduate student group at Brown University's School of Engineering. EQUiSat's mission was to test a battery technology that had never flown in space which powered an beacon that was designed to be visible from Earth. [1] [2]
KSAT-2, also known as Hayato-2 was a Japanese satellite constructed by Kagoshima University as a reflight of its KSAT mission. It has a size of 10 x 10 x 10 cm (without extendible antenna boom) and is built around a standard 1U CubeSat satellite bus.
