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 .
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 ]
1U CubeSat: Launch mass: 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) Start of mission; Launch date: ... UniCubeSat-GG is a 1-U cubesat design with a mass of 1 kg.
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.

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.
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]
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.
BeeSat-1 is a cubesat with a form factor of 10cm. Each subsystem has a backup except for the sensors and the camera and all subsystems are connected by 2 redundant CAN busses . The antenna enables a 4.8 kbps half-duplex communication with the ground station in Berlin .
