CubeSat for earthquakes, oceans, multispectral imaging
This CubeSat, one of the eight satellites, is designed to help with earthquake detection, ocean monitoring, and capturing multispectral images, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional satellites.
Thanks to clever designs like the Miura fold and cheaper launches (think Rocket Lab's Electron), even university teams can now build and send these satellites to space.
The global CubeSat industry is already worth $355 million.
