17 JUL. 2023 publication date 2997 Views

ESA's CubeSat Systems Unit oversees the design, building and flight of miniature CubeSats used to provide early in-orbit demonstration opportunities for European technologies - because the best place to test novel space systems is actually in space. Assembled from standardised 10-cm boxes, CubeSats offer smaller Member States the chance to build competences by overseeing entire missions.
