Abstract

CubeSat technology has become a tool to encourage engineering collaboration, to train students providing them with a platform for real-world space exploration. This provides advancements in the aerospace industry as well. These satellites are made for a rather specific purpose than a conventional heavyweight satellite thereby reducing the cost. This paper discusses Cube Satellites, their design, salient features along with different applications and advancements made in the field of CubeSat technology thus providing an overview of a general analysis of CubeSat technology.
