A CubeSat is a small satellite designed to be deployed from a standardized container to facilitate launch as an auxiliary payload. The CubeSat Design Specification places rigid limits on satellite dimensions to enable containerization and places a number of restrictions on the contents and function of the satellite to ensure that it poses no risk to the launch. The resulting ready and inexpensive access to space has fostered a culture of risk and innovation that has led to short development cycles and very rapid advances in the capabilities of CubeSats. From the first launch of six containerized satellites in 2000, the cumulative number launched has doubled about every 2.5 years and passed the 1000 mark in 2018. Initially intended to promote satellite development programs in educational settings, the CubeSat form factor has been enthusiastically adopted for technology-demonstration flights, science missions, and commercial applications.
