This paper will focus on the structural design, modeling, and impact analysis of a 1.5U CubeSat payload to withstand a ballistic, soft-touch landing on the lunar surface.

The winners are in for the GrabCad CubeSat Challenge, which asked designers to rethink the way that CubeSats are built. These tiny 10 cm square satellites are the hot thing in orbit, and the compet… ...

A standard Cubesat has a volume of 1 litre (1000cu. cm volume or a cube with 10cm per side). Cubesats cost $60K in-orbit. These have have 1/8 the volume (125 cu. cm for a cube 5 cm on a side) and ...

From 1957 when the first human-made satellite, Sputnik-1, was launched until 1999 when Twiggs proposed CubeSat, satellites came in all shapes and sizes. And almost all satellites were designed ...
