Some of the world’s most exciting space developments are occurring in a small form factor: CubeSats. Backed by strong commercial funding and more launch availability, CubeSats are no longer just the domain of academic learning experiments; they are becoming core to government and commercial missions. The era of CubeSat 2.0 has arrived.

CubeSats have come a long way from their origins as a teaching tool for aerospace engineering students. Robert Twiggs a professor at Stanford University first envisioned CubeSats as a learning […]
