The objective of this project is to explore and develop plug-and-play CubeSats and their systems, some of which will have applications to UAVs.; analyse existing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) CubeSat parts, especially their electrical and mechanical connectivity; refine these connections and products, UNSWs 3D-printed CubeSat structure, and USydney’s CubeSat boards; implement plug-and-playsoftware; develop and test initial snap-together plug-and-play CubeSat kits, using external and new components as desired; and commercialise the systems, refining as needed.
