DESCRIPTION:CubeSat\, a modular type of standardized modern small satellite
 s\, have been gaining steady popularity and attention from universities an
 d space industries. In addition to education purpose\, CubeSats have vario
 us promising applications as low-cost space exploration vehicles for techn
 ology demonstrations\, multi-point observations of space environment\, and
  monitoring/reporting proper deployment of expensive deep space instrument
 s.\n\nAntennas are critical components for CubeSat missions. A CubeSat ant
 enna may provide some or all of the following functions: telemetry\, track
 ing\, command (TT\\&amp;C)\, high speed downlink for payload data\, receiving 
 positioning data\, and inter-satellite cross links. Most often\, different
  antennas are required to keep the CubeSat assembly in modular fashion. On
  the other hand\, antenna engineers strive to create solutions that could 
 pack more functionality into one unit. This brings up a need to understand
  basics of CubeSat development cycle and link budget analysis\, so that an
  electrical engineer would have sound knowledge of limiting factors (posed
  by the mechanical system and hardware of a CubeSat) to the antennas desig
 n.\n\nWith rapid advancement of electronics\, novel mechanical design\, an
 d aerospace technology\, new progress in CubeSats is emerging every day. T
 his calls for interests and early involvements of creative young minds. Th
 e objective of this presentation is to convey the basics of CubeSat develo
 pment cycle\, launch methods\, typical CubeSat orbits\, link budget analys
 is\, various antenna solutions\, and feasible classroom projects.\n\nThis 
 lecture is open to everyone and IEEE membership is not required.\n\n[]\n\n
