Abstract
Advances in modern technology have aided the development of a class of miniaturized satellites called SmallSats that typically weigh less than 500 kg. Key members of this family are CubeSats. CubeSats can weigh as little as 1.33 kg, with a typical volume of 10 ? 10 ? 10 cm<;sup>3<;/sup>. Their potential has motivated the scientific community to revisit existing spacecraft technologies to make them suitable for CubeSats.Keywords
