We are still at a cusp when CubeSats are few– a couple dozen in a year, spread out across the world– but growing. I predict that, in three to four years, most universities and colleges will have CubeSat capability, much as most are starting to teach app development or 3d printing– fields that were also new half a decade ago, but are rapidly reaching the level of commodity and even necessity.
