Abstract
The purpose of this study is to inform small research groups on the potential Earth observation (EO) and remote sensing missions that are feasible and beneficial that can be conducted on small 1-2U CubeSats. The first steps are to identify the gaps in the current Earth observation missions run by the likes of NASA and ESA for example. By understanding the limitations of conventional satellites, we can match EO and remote sensing missions to the capabilities of CubeSat technology. Four potential EO missions are outlined describing the benefits of utilizing CubeSats alongside traditional satellites.
