Cubesat Engineering (Cubesats)

La 4e de couverture indique : "This book is an introduction to Cubesats, those popular and relatively inexpensive modular spacecraft that are upending the aerospace world. They have been built and deployed by colleges and Universities around the world, as well as high schools and elementary schools, even individuals. This is because Cubesats are modular, standard, and relatively low cost. The expensive part is the launch, but that is adressed by launch fixtures compatible with essentially every launch vehicle on the planet. Although you may not have much of a choice in the orbit. Cubesats are also flown on high altitude balloons. Student Cubesat Projects are usually open source, may be world-wide in scope, and collaborative. At the same time, professionnals in aerospace have not failed to consider the Cubesat architecture as an alternative for small-sat missions. This can reduce costs by one or two orders of magnitude. There are Cubesats on the International Space Station, and these can be returned to Earth on a resupply mission."
