ABSTRACT A developing and coming technology known as a cube satellite (CubeSat) allows relatively inexpensive access to space research tests and applications for researchers of any skill level. In 1999, the first CubeSat standard was developed. The growing space sector is attracting more and more researchers due to the growing number of space-related applications. Miniaturised satellites, or CubeSats, are a fascinating field of modern space research because of their many possibilities and inexpensive design and deployment costs. Many uses are made possible by the new paradigm of connected space made available by CubeSats, including space research, remote sensing of Earth, and connectivity in rural areas. In addition, CubeSats offer an additional connectivity option to the ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) networks, resulting in a cyberphysical system that is globally connected. A new kind of tiny satellite known as Cube Satellites, or CubeSats, has gained popularity recently. This is especially true for those who view CubeSats as a viable substitute for traditional satellites in space programmes. This is due to its low cost and ability to be constructed with readily available commercial parts. Additionally, CubeSats can connect with ground stations and each other in space to perform a variety of tasks including deep space communications, vast area measurements, space research, and remote sensing (such as land imaging and teaching).
