Thinking Outside the Box: Space Science Beyond the CubeSat
2012
Over a decade ago, Professors Robert (Bob) Twiggs (then of Stanford University) and Jordi Puig-Suari (CalPoly-SLO) effected a major paradigm shift in space research with the development of the 10-cm CubeSat, helping to provide a new level of student accessibility to space science research once thought impossible. Seeking a means to provide students with hands-on satellite development skills during their limited time at university, and inspired by the successful deployment of six 1-kg, pico-satellites from Stanford's Orbiting Picosatellite Automatic Launcher (OPAL) in 2000, Twiggs and Puig-Suari ultimately developed the 10-cm CubeSat. In 2003, the first successful CubeSat deployment into orbit demonstrated the very achievable possibilities that lay ahead. By 2008, 60 launch missions later, new industries had arisen around the CubeSat, creating new commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) satellite components and parts, and conventional launch resources became overwhelmed. This article recounts this history and related issues that arose, describes solutions to the issues and subsequent developments in the arena of space science (such as further miniaturization of space research tools), and provides a glimpse of Twiggs' vision of the future of space research.
Promoting International Collaboration Through Training and Education in Space Technology Applications and Advances Among Bimstec Countries – a Government of India Initiative
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
India is one of the top space-faring nations in the world, which not only to build satellites and launches them using indigenously developed launch vehicles but also spearheads the use of space technology for many applications at the national and international level. Training, education and capacity building (TECB) are important components in promoting the use of space technology, thereby benefitting the society. North Eastern Space Applications Centre (NESAC) is one of many institutions under the umbrella of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Department of Space (DOS) which is responsible for promoting TECB at National level. ISRO / DOS also supports TECB at an International level through many initiatives such as IIRS-ITC JEP, UN-CSSTEAP, CEOS, UNSPIDER, UN-FAO, WMO, Commonwealth, and BIMSTEC etc. NESAC established in 2000, initiated capacity building and spearheaded Outreach programs from 2019 in the North East Region of India. Prime Minister of India announced in the plenary meeting of BIMSTEC(Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) Summit at Kathmandu, Nepal in August 2018, recognizing NESAC to conduct space technology training programs of two weeks and 3 months for BIMSTEC Countries every year for the next five years with full financial support from Government of India. The first two week training program on "capacity building on the earth observation applications and research" was successfully conducted for 24 participants, four participants each representing Bangladesh, Bhutan, Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The participants are from User Departments, Science and Technology Ministries, Space Organizations and Academia and Research Institutions. The training benefitted the participants from state of the art training facilities and experienced faculties from NESAC/ISRO/Academia from across India. The summary of feedback from the participants (excellent-57%, good-40%, average-2.6% and poor-0.4%) indicates that the course is very much useful as it has enhanced their knowledge in earth observation, geospatial analysis capabilities that will be put into use on their return. The training and capacity building has opened new vistas of cooperation and possible collaboration between BIMSTEC countries ranging from availing satellite data, expansion and access to data sharing portals, creating knowledge network to promote young researchers and expert sharing within the region, further to expand the capacity building by initiating distance learning programs, taking up joint research and application projects, etc. The rich experience of conducting a unique program, one of its kind and detailed feedback and possible expansion of BIMSTEC programs in the future is presented in the paper.

Promoting research and education in basic space science: the approach of the UN/ESA workshops
Space Policy, 2003
The United Nations/European Space Agency workshops on basic space science are a long-term effort for the development of astrophysics and space science and regional and international cooperation in this field on a worldwide basis, particularly in developing nations. The first four workshops in this series (India (1991), Costa Rica and Colombia (1992), Nigeria (1993), Egypt (1994)) explored the status of astrophysics and space science in Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Western Asia, respectively. One major recommendation that emanated from the first four workshops was that small astronomical facilities should be established in developing nations for research and education programmes at the university level and that such facilities should be networked in the future. Subsequently, a teaching module and observing programmes for small optical telescopes were developed or recommended and astronomical telescope facilities have been inaugurated at UN/ESA workshops on basic space

geopolitical, and economic levels. A
bright and sustainable future can only
be achieved if we keep finding and
developing innovative solutions to a
wide variety of human concerns from
an ever-changing NewSpace.
Humanity has just skimmed the
surface of space's immensity, which
holds enormous potential for our future
needs.
Space has an impact on all of us,
connecting global citizens and
providing us with countless
opportunites. Every individual on our
Earth recognises how amazing space
is. Whatever has to do with space is
exciting, whether its satellites orbiting
the Earth, large constellations
wandering around LEO, individuals
prepping to land on the Moon or Mars,
or telescopes staring into the furthest
reaches of the universe.
The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict
has shown both the positive and
negative sides of space solicitations.
Unfortunately, the war has already
created numerous impediments to the
array of solutions given by the space
domain. The fighting, for example, has
intensified pandemic shutdowns and
disrupted global supplychains for
critical semiconductor components. At
the same time, proof of the exponential
rise of space-related news can be
witnessed on a regular basis across the
globe. It is important to all of us that the
war issues are resolved, and that peace
be restored.
The Department of Space (DOS)
fosters the country's space ecosystem
via its national agencies by enabling
favourable regulations and
encouraging the industry's selfreliance through its flagship
programme Attmanirbhar Bharat and

transformations that are on par with the
global pace of successes in this sector.
In the Lok Sabha, the Union Minister for
Science and Technology, Dr Jitendra
Singh, stated that the commercial arm
of DOS, The NewSpace India Limited
(NSIL), had already launched 45 foreign
client satellites onboard ISRO's PSLV
during the course of the last three
years. In addition, the agency has
secured four dedicated launch service
contracts for foreign customers'
satellites through launch facilitation by
ISRO. As a consequence of the
increased demand for global
broadband access, the minister said
that NSIL is planning to launch a
number of these foreign satellites using
the SSLV, PSLV, and GSLV-Mk III
rockets. The GSLV Mk III is India's giant
rocket and can lift about 9,000kilograms payload to LEO.
The formation of IN-SPACe is another
encouraging indicator of DOS's
restructured space aspirations. It
assures that India will have a greater
footprint of knowledge in the
production of earth observation &
communication satellites and
sophisticated Small Launch vehicles in
the future years to meet the demands
of the global markets. It intends to
achieve this ambition by enlisting the
help of industry and academia besides
extensively engaging the private
sector.
This is indeed encouraging news for
India's space sector, and it promises to
bring about a significant rise in
prospects in the years to come.
There are many opportunities for all of
us in space. As we continue to explore,
05
we will discover new
footings that will perhaps
last forever. As a result,
even 65 years after the first
space voyage, space
remains sentient and has
only been sporadically
explored. Aspirant
businesses from all over
the globe are pouring
billions of dollars into the
space industry, believing
that these investments will
protect humanity's interests
on Earth and other Planets.
The space enterprise was
founded on the notion of
expanding the boundaries
of human knowledge via
scientific missions and
experiments. Exploration of
space required the pursuit
of ground-breaking
discoveries, which were
eventually found to bestow
new applications in broader
social contexts. As a result,
every citizen has benefited
from myriad technologies
inherited from space
expeditions. Newer
technologies like edge
computing, AI & ML, 3DP,
quantum computing, IoT,
digital twins, and
blockchain have
revolutionised the socioeconomic landscape,
including the space
business. This transition,
which has resulted in
increased efficiency and a
deep understanding of
space applications, is the
outcome of what is often
06
referred to as digital
transformation. This has
enhanced perspective of
space operations, reduced
expenses, and expanded
the capacity to collect and
analyse critical data on a
larger scale and at a faster
speed.
The idea of sending
thousands of small
satellites into orbit will
become a reality in the
coming days as the
billionaire space race heats
up. We can already see the
trend and various significant
events occurring in the
global space domain on a
daily basis. As part of Axiom
Space's Ax-1 Mission,
SpaceX successfully flew
the first all-private crew of
space tourists to the ISS.
Amazon has signed
contracts with Arianespace,
Blue Origin, and the United
Launch Alliance (ULA) to
supply heavy lift launch
services for Project Kuiper.
Project Kuiper's goal is to
deliver high-speed, lowlatency broadband to every
citizen in areas where
internet access is
inconsistent and limited.
A couple of months ago,
ITCA inaugurated the
Satellite Technology
Centre, which was a
cornerstone for the
ongoing 75 Sats Mission.
With augmented
infrastructure, ITCA is
emerging as a
contemporary, focal, and
inclusive institution
addressing the needs and
aspirations of the space
technology congregation,
including its partnered,
incubated, and mentored
institutions. The facility also
serves as the Mission's
nerve centre for CubeSat
development programmes
in the country.
The expansion of the space
economy, which now has a
value of USD 447 Billion
and is growing, is a
significant factor in the
creation of new jobs,
acceleration of the pace of
innovation, reorganisation
of markets, and the
enhancement of the quality
of life for individuals.
ITCA is making a significant
effort to ensure that
NewSpace opportunities
are leveraged to the fullest
by training and developing
students who are equipped
to make the most of these
possibilities. These
initiatives are significant
because they align with the
New Education Policy
ideals intended to reshape
India's education system at
par with global standards.
The 75 Sats Mission has
made significant progress
in recent months thanks to
the support extended by a
range of government and
private organisations. ISRO,
NSIL, and IN-SPACe have
made considerable
contributions to
overcoming the numerous
challenges and hurdles that
this mega constellation
CubeSat project is
experiencing. In addition,
significant strides are being
achieved in industry
participation toward the
fabrication of a wide range
of subsystems and the
reduction of concerns
associated with satellite
integration. It's an exciting
opportunity for students
from all over India to
become involved in this
unique Mission through
various partnering
institutions, where they
collaborate and exchange
multifaceted and
transformative ideas.
Despite the numerous
challenges posed by the
pandemic, global
economic downturn, and
component scarcity, ITCA
has successfully engaged
our space fraternity and
inspired a broader
audience to participate in
and contribute to the
historic 75 Sats mission.
This ensures that
engineering and
technology remain a
formidable force for
societal transformations. It
is a watershed moment for
the burgeoning space
industry, which is still in its
early phases, and portends
many more missions in the
years ahead.
