I'm sure many of you will be familar with the CubeSat project, in fact some of you may well have worked on one.
![]() So lets hear it, what would you do with a 10x10x10cm 1kg payload in a CubeSat, beside the obvious like stick a camera in it and photograph your house. Who knows, perhaps one day we may see the launch of the USF CubeSat ![]() |

Need a lot of power and a high pressure Xenon tank. Wonder if it could be doable in a tripple cube.

Doug the power could come from a set of extendable solar panels, who says that once deployed it has to remain constrained to a 10x10x10 cube. I jsut spent an hour in a boring meeting trying to figure out how to get a tiny telescope deployed from a 10x cube. with a single pivot point. We need to start thinking outside the box.... |

The absolute minimum of deployment is probably the way to go - movement of parts=risk to both the CubeSat and the host vehicle, and leads to weight gains, spiralling cost etc. KISS is the motto - it's not Rocket Science, after all, just building... ...er... ...maybe it is. -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
