Episode Details

CubeSats are small satellites comprised of 10x10x10cm "units" and range in size from very small 1U or smaller PocketQubes to 24U beasts. What can be achieved with such a satellite platform and why? I will go in to a brief history with examples from customers and amateur radio CubeSats. During my 20 years working with CubeSats, starting with designing parts of the Delfi-C3 student satellite in 2005, I have seen many missions and I have been involved in the design of quite a few CubeSats. Often, people ask me "what can you do with such a small satellite" and that prompted me to create this talk!
