CubeSat Project |
The CubeSat Project is an international
collaboration of universities, high schools,
private firms, government agencies, developing
pico-satellites containing scientific, private,
and government payloads. The CubeSat Project was
developed by California Polytechnic State
University, San Luis Obispo and Stanford
University's Space Systems Development Lab. A
CubeSat is a 10 cm cube with a mass of up to
1.33 kg. Developers benefit from the sharing of
information within the community.
To participate in a CubeSat Program, all that is
necessary is to design and build a satellite
conforming to the CubeSat Standard. Created by
California Polytechnic State University and
Stanford University, the CubeSat Standard is
designed to provide developers with necessary
guidelines to interface with the P-POD. The
standard describes the outer dimensions,
recommended materials, highlights restrictions,
and describes schedules pertaining to
integration and launch.
The CubeSat program strives to provide
practical, reliable, and cost-effective launch
opportunities for small satellites and their
payloads. |
