A 1U CubeSat measures approximately 1 × 1 × 1 decimetres, while a 6U CubeSat is six times the size, approximately 1 × 2 × 3 decimetres. [ 45 ] This list is incomplete ; you can help by adding missing items .
A PhoneSat-1.0 satellite, Bell was built to the single-unit (1U) CubeSat specification, and measures 10 centimetres (3.9 in) in each dimension. The satellite is based on an off-the-shelf HTC Nexus One smartphone which serves in place of an onboard computer and avionics system.
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 ]
Size: 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm (1U CubeSat) Mass: 1 kg; Communication: 2 independent radios using amateur radio Very high frequency (VHF) and Ultra high frequency (UHF) bands, transmission speed 1200 bit/s; AFSK and PWM Morse code modulation, KISS protocol; Payload: low resolution C328 camera (640 × 480 maximum resolution, 8 bit color)
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.
AeroCube-3 is a single-unit CubeSat which was built and is being operated by The Aerospace Corporation, at El Segundo, California.It is the third AeroCube picosatellite, following on from AeroCube-1, which was lost in a launch failure in 2006, and AeroCube-2 which was successfully launched in 2007 but failed immediately after launch.

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.
[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]
