Rapid development of nanosatellites has led to many unique and innovative space applications.These tiny satellites have come a long way since Sputnik, the first satellite that was launched in 1957, weighing 83 kg.The success of the CubeSat has revolutionized space technology.Typically, these CubeSat fall into categories of nanosatellites weighing no more than 1.33 Kg and using less power than a five watt light bulb.Mostly, CubeSat has one or more payloads such as Imaging Payload, Scientific payload and High Frequency (HF) Radio Beacon.
