In the past, only large, well-funded organizations could afford to build and launch satellites. But CubeSats are making it possible for anyone with a good idea and some basic engineering skills to put a satellite in space.

CubeSats are small, cube-shaped satellites that are increasingly being used for a variety of space exploration missions. They are relatively inexpensive to build and launch, and they can be used to study the Earth's atmosphere, monitor the environment, and even test new technologies.
