Platform for Nanosatellite Utilization and Technology (P-NUT)

Published on March 23, 2007

Abstract

Nanosatellites are satellites that weigh less than 10 kg. This study investigates the feasibility of nanosatellites for commercial applications. The results of this study show that nanosatellites do not have any commercial value in the current stage. Although many nanosatellites were successfully launched into orbit by different institutions and organizations, they were experimental and very limited in use and applications.

Mission: Nano satellites are those satellites that weigh less than 10 kg. In this project our mission is to make a nanosatellite platform.
