Nanosat
A nanosat is a small, lightweight satellite typically weighing between 1 and 10 kilograms. Designed for a variety of scientific, commercial, and educational purposes, nanosats are cost-effective alternatives to larger satellites, allowing for quicker development and deployment. They often use standardized platforms like CubeSats to facilitate collaboration and innovation in space research. Despite their small size, nanosats can perform complex tasks such as Earth observation, telecommunications, and scientific experiments, making space exploration more accessible and versatile for researchers, startups, and universities.
