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.
From 1994 to 1998, he was an assistant professor in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Arizona State University. Puig-Suari is a professor at Cal Poly, [2] and served as chair of the Aerospace Engineering Department at Cal Poly from 2004 to 2008.
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.
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.
CubeSat Space Protocol (CSP) is a small network-layer delivery protocol designed for CubeSats. [citation needed] The idea was developed by a group of students from Aalborg University in 2008, and further developed for the AAUSAT3 CubeSat mission that was launched in 2013. The protocol is based on a 32-bit header containing both network and ...
As such, the design challenge was to maximize the surface area of the sail while minimizing the mass of the spacecraft — all while adhering to the standard 3-unit CubeSat size limitation. LightSail's modular design is based on a modular 3-unit CubeSat, a small satellite format created for university-level space projects. One CubeSat-sized ...
