However, there are a lot of technical issues involved as devices are also part of the program CubeSat Launch Initiative, which seeks to “inspire and develop the next generation of scientists, engineers and technologists”, for this reason it offers research and development opportunities in these educational spaces, as another satellite is sent by the Thomas Jefferson High School of Science and Technology.

These satellites are built cheaply and are much smaller than conventional ones, as they usually fit in one hand and weigh only 2 kilograms. Mario It has the dimensions of sliced ​​bread.

“Small satellites such as CubeSats play an important role in the agency’s educational, scientific and technological investigations, including planetary exploration, Earth observation and basic earth and space sciences,” he said. Bradley SmithDirector of Space Operations Mission Launch Services.

Therefore, they will become a fundamental part of the development of technologies crucial to them potsuch as laser communications, satellite-to-satellite communications and autonomous driving.
