Nowadays, satellites are very important in several corners in our live.
We use it in communications and weather prediction.
Sending a satellite in space require a big budget.
To help students to learn and develop satellites, students find a new way that help them to build satellite most cheaply than the original one by building cube satellites.
From its name, cube satellites are satellites have a cubic shape.
This satellite is a very small satellite and has a lightweight (may have ten centimeter length, width and height).
Because of lightweight, it doesn't expensive and only one rocket can deliver many satellites at once.
I read in Washington Post journal that high school students have built their own satellite and Nasa rocket put this satellite in its orbit.
Nasa rocket lift a smart phone and twenty eight tiny satellite into space.
May be this satellites aren't useful, but it gives student a lot of experiences to build a real one in the future.
