CUBESAT DEVELOPER’S WORKSHOP

April 25-27, 2023 San Luis Obispo, CA #CubeSatDW

WELCOME

Welcome to the 2023 CubeSat Developers Workshop!

For the next three days you will be immersed in all things CubeSat — from attending presentations on today’s research and innovation, to networking and making new friends at banquet, to attending additional meetings all week long — there are countless things to do!

We are so happy to have you join the CubeSat Community here in sunny San Luis Obispo, we hope you enjoy your time!

19 9 9 – TH E Y E A R I T A L L B EGA N

The goal was to make space accessible to university students, but it has since extended far beyond that. People from all over the world have discovered this affordable way to conduct research in space and the CubeSat standard has now been adopted by hundreds of organizations worldwide. It has truly revolutionized the way people learn about space.

The past 20 years have been so transformative for the aerospace industry, and CubeSats have played a big part in that. This year we recognize their role, look back at their many accomplishments, and turn to the future to see how we can make the next 20 years even better. CubeSat developers from academia and industry are brought together to share their knowledge and experience developing small satellites using the increasingly popular small satellite platform. There will be key-note speakers representing different segments of the community, as well as talks ranging in subject from emerging technologies and new developments in the field to mission success stories and current design considerations.

Exhibitors will also be present to offer information and discussion of their own experiences and roles within the community. With so many people joining the community, we hope to continue advancing the industry by sharing our knowledge here at the 20th Annual CubeSat Developers Workshop. We are so happy to have you here, and we hope you leave inspired and ready to transform space!

ADDITIONAL MEETINGS SmallSat Reliability Meeting 1-2pm, Wednesday 4/26 UU220 At present, CubeSat components and buses are generally not appropriate for missions where significant risk of failure, or the inability to quantify risk or confidence, is acceptable. However, in the future, we anticipate that CubeSats will be used for missions requiring reliability of 1-3 years for Earth missions and even longer for Planetary and Heliophysics missions. Historically, it was understood and accepted that “high risk” and “CubeSat” were largely synonymous; expectations were set accordingly. But their growing potential utility is driving an interagency effort to improve and quantify CubeSat reliability, and more generally, small satellite mission risk. The Small Satellite Reliability Initiative (SSRI) targets this challenge.

LunarCubes 8am-12pm, Friday 4/28 UU219 It has been quite a year for CubeSats beyond Earth orbit! One area remaining unresolved is in the development of the CubeSat paradigm for more diverse and complex payloads targeting cislunar space. For LunarCubes this year, we will consider what we have in mind for these lunar payloads and where we go from here.
