Pune, India, June 4, 2021--Microsatellites and nanosatellites are miniaturized man-made satellites that are used for collecting information about the earth and space, among other uses. According to NASA, these satellites are classified on the basis of their overall mass. Microsatellites are artificial satellites, with a mass of 11–100 kg (including fuel mass) while nanosatellites are artificial satellites weighing between 1 and 10 kg, and measuring around 30 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm. Nanosatellites with standard dimensions (“U” or Units) of 10 × 10 × 11 are known as CubeSats. These satellites can be 1U, 2U, 3U, or 6U in size, and typically weigh less than 1.33 kg (3 lbs) per U.
