  3. CubeSats A CubeSat is a type of satellite for space research that typically has a volume of exactly one liter (10 cm cube), has a mass of no more than 1.33 kilograms, and typically uses off the shelf electronic components

  4. CubeSats Cal Poly and Stanford University developed the CubeSat specifications in 1999 to help universities worldwide to perform space science and exploration

  5. CubeSats $65,000 to $85,000 launch cost Launched from a standard deployment system (P-POD) Low Earth Orbit (LEO)

  6. CubeSats Standard units 10cm x 10cm x 10cm (1U) 20cm x 10cm x 10cm (2U) 30cm x 10cm x 10cm (3U)

  7. CubeSats SEEDSII STARS RAX 2

  8. CubeSats • Releasing CubeSats from ISS • ARISSat was jettisoned during an EVA • JAXA is planning to release CubeSats from the ISS using the robotic arm • NASA Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNA)

  9. AMSAT Fox 1 and Fox 2 Fox-1 is a quickly deployable baseline FM replacement satellite for AO-51 (2013) Fox-2 is a second more flexible satellite benefiting from the development work of the baseline Fox-1, with the additional time being applied to developing its more sophisticated power and Software Defined Transponder (SDX) communications systems (2015)

  10. Space Frame Structure  Standard 1U (One Unit) CubeSat. • Mass:                                 Approximately 1.33 kg, ~ 3 lbs. • Orbit:                                  600- 800 km, circular, depending on launcher • RF:                                     500 mW EIRP, U/V (Mode B). Deployable antennas.

  11. Fox-1 Electronics:Simple IHU.  Battery failure will still allow daylight operation.  FM only • Fox-2 Electronics:          Software Defined Transponder (SDX).  Multiple modes supported.  • Power source:               Fox-1:  Fixed Solar ArraysFox-2:  Deployable Solar Arrays • Batteries NiCad or Lithium-Ion
