CubeSats
The space news that catches me today is CubeSats, low-cost satellites with promising future.
CubeSats are low-cost microsatellite that could be placed into Earth orbit for under $ 100,000. Cubesat bus measured 10 centimetres on a side, and weighed less than one kilogram.
Cubesats could be used for scientific missions (microgravity, biomedical, component testing, amateur radio) or personal (burial, photography).
