During past decades, driven by increasingly advanced science questions, space observatories have become more sophisticated and more complex, with costs often growing to billions of dollars. Although these kinds of ever-more-sophisticated missions will continue into the future, small satellites, ranging in mass between 500 kg to 0.1 kg, are gaining momentum as an additional means to address targeted science questions in a rapid, and possibly more affordable, manner. Within the category of small satellites, CubeSats have emerged as a space-platform defined in terms of (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm)- sized cubic units of approximately 1.3 kg each called “U’s.” Historically, CubeSats were developed as training projects to expose students to the challenges of real- world engineering practices and system design. Yet, their use has rapidly spread within academia, industry, and government agencies both nationally and internationally. In particular, CubeSats have caught the attention of parts of the U.S. space science community, which sees this platform, despite its inherent constraints, as a way to affordably access space and perform unique measurements of scientific value. The first science results from such CubeSats have only recently become available; however, questions remain regarding the scientific potential and technological promise of CubeSats in the future. Achieving Science with CubeSats reviews the current state of the scientific potential and technological promise of CubeSats. This report focuses on the platform’s promise to obtain high- priority science data, as defined in recent decadal surveys in astronomy and astrophysics, Earth science and applications from space, planetary science, and solar and space physics (heliophysics); the science priorities identified in the 2014 NASA Science Plan; and the potential for CubeSats to advance biology and microgravity research. It provides a list of sample science goals for CubeSats, many of which address targeted science, often in coordination with other spacecraft, or use “sacrificial,” or high-risk, orbits that lead to the demise of the satellite after critical data have been collected. Other goals relate to the use of CubeSats as constellations or swarms deploying tens to hundreds of CubeSats that function as one distributed array of measurements"--Publisher's description. 588 0 Title from PDF title page (National Academies Press, viewed Oct. 12, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Space sciences|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85125953|xStudy and teaching|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001008697|zUnited States.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Scientific satellites.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118693 650 7 Space sciences|xStudy and teaching.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1127836 650 7 Space sciences.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1127807 650 7 Scientific satellites.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1108885 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 653 CubeSats 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tAchieving science with cubesats.|d[S.l.] : National Academies Press, 2016|z030944263X |w(OCoLC)953843749 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1395557|zOnline eBook.
