A technical reference spanning the CubeSat mission lifecycle

Edited by Chantal Cappelletti, this 498-page handbook maps CubeSat work from early mission design through manufacturing and in-orbit operations. Its six-part structure opens with a historical overview by CubeSat co-inventors Robert Twiggs and Jordi Puig-Suari, then gathers international specialist contributions on the practical systems behind small-satellite missions. Coverage includes standard interfaces, onboard and ground software, control algorithms, subsystems, systems engineering, assembly, integration, testing and validation (AITV), and launch regulations. The book presents CubeSat development as an interconnected engineering process, linking mission planning with the technical and operational considerations needed to bring a satellite into service.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Engineers developing or planning CubeSat missions
  • University researchers and students working in small-satellite engineering
  • Industry teams needing a broad reference on CubeSat design, testing, and operations

Book overview

CubeSat Handbook: From Mission Design to Operations is the first book solely devoted to the design, manufacturing, and in-orbit operations of CubeSats. Beginning with an historical overview from CubeSat co-inventors Robert Twiggs and Jordi Puig-Suari, the book is divided into 6 parts with contributions from international experts in the area of small satellites and CubeSats. It covers topics such as standard interfaces, on-board & ground software, industry standards in terms of control algorithms and sub-systems, systems engineering, standards for AITV (assembly, integration, testing and validation) activities, and launch regulations.

This comprehensive resource provides all the information needed for engineers and developers in industry and academia to successfully design and launch a CubeSat mission.
