Back in March I was visiting Glasgow, I was invited to the PocketQube workshop which is a conference supporting people building satellites even smaller than CubeSats. The smallest are 2 inch or 50millimeter cubes and they cost a lot less to launch than a traditional big CubeSat.
And I was impressed to see demonstrations of deployable solar cells, attitude control, propulsion and even reentry at these scales. So what can you do with a spacecraft which is so small?
