520 1 "Space-based observations have transformed our
understanding of Earth, its environment, the solar system
and the universe at large. 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.
