CubeSats: Sending Paperweight-Sized Satellites To Space

CubeSats – small, low-cost satellites – can be used for many purposes, from monitoring environmental changes to detecting and assessing disasters and more. For around $7,500 you can own one of these picosatellites and, for another $40,000 or so, hitch a ride on a rocket and conduct experiments in space!
