Development of the standard CubeSat deployer and a CubeSat class PicoSatellite [PDF]
2001 IEEE Aerospace Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.01TH8542), 2002 Cal Poly students are participating in the development of a new class of picosatellite, the CubeSat. CubeSats are ideal as space development projects for universities around the world. In addition to their significant role in educating space scientists and engineers, CubeSats provide a low-cost platform for testing and space qualification of the next ...
