In Earth Observation, they enable high-resolution imaging and
monitoring of the Earth's surface, aiding disaster management,
agriculture, and urban planning. In Communication, CubeSats
expand global internet coverage, bridging connectivity gaps in
remote regions. In Scientific Discovery, they contribute to the
study of our solar system and beyond, exploring asteroids,
monitoring the sun, and searching for exoplanets. In Space
Exploration, small satellites support larger missions by
gathering data and conducting experiments in challenging
environments.
In conclusion, the era of small satellites has ushered in a new
age of space exploration marked by accessibility, affordability,
and versatility. Despite their small size, these satellites are
making significant contributions to our understanding of space
and our planet. Size is no longer a limitation in achieving
remarkable feats in space exploration.
