A cubsat is a class of sattelite that follows a standardized size and shape known 'U'. Specifically a 1U cubsat is a 10cm cube with a maximum weight of 2kg. Cubsats provide affordable access to space for small companies, research institutes and universities. They are mainly launched into low earth orbit for applications such as remote sensing, space weather measurements and communications.
