SwissCube-1 is a Swiss satellite operated by École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). The spacecraft is a single unit CubeSat, which was designed to conduct research into nightglow within the Earth's atmosphere, and to develop technology for future spacecraft. [2]
SNIPE (Small scale magNetospheric and Ionospheric Plasma Experiment) is a CubeSat developed by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) for five years to observe space weather. [1] It is the world's first CubeSat to be equipped with a formation flight function that can change the distance between satellites and flight pattern ...
Ten double or triple CubeSats are foreseen to serve for in-orbit technology demonstration of new space technologies. All 50 CubeSats may be launched together on a single Cyclone-4 launch vehicle in February 2016. [3] The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the QB50 CubeSat was released on February 15, 2012.

Ncube-2, a Norwegian CubeSat (10 cm (3.9 in) cube). A CubeSat is a class of small satellite with a form factor of 10 cm (3.9 in) cubes. [1] CubeSats have a mass of no more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per unit, [2] and often use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for their electronics and structure.
The two-year period spanning the development, construction, launch and operation of the satellites engaged three university students from each of the five participating countries. All five satellites had to be identical to each other in the class of a 1U CubeSat. [9] The satellite cost about US$500,000 to manufacture and launch. [10]
1U CubeSat : the satellites implements the standard 10×10×10 cm basic CubeSat architecture. Computing features Arduino-based : The ArduSat is equipped with 16 processor nodes ( ATmega328 P) and 1 supervisor node (ATmega2561) (see [ 18 ] for features).
NASA's Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator (PTD) Project is a series of tech demonstrations of technologies aboard a series of nanosatellites known as CubeSats, providing significant enhancements to the performance of these versatile spacecraft. Each of the five planned PTD missions consist of a 6-unit (6U) CubeSat with expandable solar arrays. [3]
