Nanosatellites often follow the “CubeSat” design standard, which consists of 10x10x10 cm units, called “U” (1U being the smallest size). This modular design allows for easy customization based on mission requirements, enabling uses in Earth observation, climate monitoring, telecommunications, and scientific research.
Nanosatellite
A nanosatellite is a type of miniaturized satellite, typically with a mass between 1 and 10 kilograms. These small, lightweight satellites have gained popularity due to their cost-effectiveness and versatility in various scientific, commercial, and educational applications.
