A CubeSat is a class of miniaturized satellitebased around a form factor consisting 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. CubeSats are put into orbit by deployers on the International Space Station, or launched as secondary payloads on a launch vehicle.[3] As of August 2021, more than 1,600 CubeSats have been launched
