Abstract
Miniaturized and highly capable science instruments are being developed for CubeSats at an increasing rate. These instruments have enabled significant, if niche, science to be performed by CubeSats in the areas of Earth remote sensing, astrophysics, space physics, and soon to include planetary science. CubeSat instruments now available and proven include infrared spectrometers, a variety of radiometers, magnetometers, radar for bistatic radar studies (relatively) high-resolution ...
