CubeSats are miniature satellites that have been used exclusively in low Earth orbit for 15 years, and are now being used for interplanetary missions as well.
In the beginning, they were commonly used in low Earth orbit for applications such as remote sensing or communications.
CubeSats History :
CubeSats were at first developed in 1999 by California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) and Stanford University to provide a platform for space exploration and education.
Later, NASA defines CubeSats as a class of nano-satellites that use a standard size and form factor.
CubeSats decrease launching costs in two basic ways. They don’t weigh heavy, which means a rocket doesn’t require a lot of fuel to heft them.
Generally, they also share a rocket with a larger satellite, making it possible to get to space on the coattails of the heavier payload.
CubeSat Course :
Introductions to CubeSat is a 2 day’s course with the fundamental concepts and all the processes for CubeSat analysis, design and developments.
Course participants will learn about the CubeSats or miniature satellites that have been used exclusively in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), and can be used for exploring and interplanetary missions .
