PocketQubes are tiny satellites which are small enough to fit in your Pocket. They are 5cm cubes and you can stack them up to create larger satellites, for example 1.5 PocketQubes or 1.5p and 2.5p. Why go small? They are cheapest fully functional class of satellite to launch.
The standard was proposed by Professor Bob Twiggs, creator of the revolutionary Cubesat form factor and voted as one of 10 space professionals “That made a Difference in Space” (The other two selected from the United States were Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and the US President, Barack Obama).
At the end of November the first 4 PocketQubes will be launched into Orbit from Russia! There will be more going next year.
This Kickstarter is focused upon structures, the building blocks of any satellite. We want to enable as many teams as possible to start designing, building andlaunching their own satellite today!!
That is why we are offering you a chance to support the NewSpace revolution, with T-Shirts, 3D Printed Models and Aluminium Structures for your first satellite project!
