Abstract :

[en] The proliferation of miniaturized spacecraft and reusable launchers have boosted access to space, enabling the development of satellite platforms even by small companies and universities. Among miniaturized spacecraft, PocketQubes have gained significant prominence since their inception at Morehead State University in 2009. PocketQubes are modular picosatellites comprising 5 cm³ cubic units, weighing up to 250 g per unit. This paper offers a comprehensive review of both past and current PocketQube missions and associated technologies, with a detailed analysis of the key aspects related to the utilization of PocketQubes in space missions. Furthermore, the paper investigates current limitations and explores the enabling technologies for future PocketQube missions, providing insights into this novel and emerging field. Key findings of this work evidence that 1) no PocketQubes have ever been deployed beyond low Earth orbit, 2) the current mass range of PocketQubes lies within 125 to 850 g, 3) the most adopted form factors are the 2P and 3P, and 4) the main enabling technology for future PocketQubes is a propulsion system.
