Building a CubeSat for less than $1000 -- Part 1 -- It should be possible

Описание к видео Building a CubeSat for less than $1000 -- Part 1 -- It should be possible

Why are CubeSats / Cube Satellites so expensive? Entry level 1U satellites for basic science missions often cost at least $10 or $20K, and I figure that they shouldn't, given how cheap consumer electronics are. 2U / 3U and above satellites are even more expensive, not to mention the much much larger launch cost. Is the high cost justified by the unique operating environment and market demand for CubeSats?



Today I set a goal of building a functional (but without science payload) CubeSat that costs less than $1000 in material and production costs.

Is this achievable? I hope to find out!
