From CubeSats to SmallSats—Big Science with Small Budgets in Astrophysics

The Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) team in April 2014 prior to the launch of MinXSS-1. The four-year project to design, build, integrate, test, and operate a small satellite to be launched into low-Earth orbit to take observations of the Sun involved many students. The MinXSS CubeSats have redefined how we explore the Sun and further extended the legacy of small satellites making big science possible. Credit: LASP
