The following is a list of CubeSats, nanosatellites used primarily by universities for research missions, typically in low Earth orbits. Some CubeSats became their country's first national satellite. The extensive Nanosatellite and CubeSat Database lists over 2,000 CubeSats that have been and are planned to be launched since 1998.[1]
There are five types of CubeSats: 0.5U, 1U, 2U, 3U, and 6U. The number corresponds to the (approximate) length of the CubeSat in decimetres. Width and depth are normally ten centimetres, or one decimetre. A 6U CubeSat measures approximately 1×2×3 decimetres.[40]
