List of CubeSats#Complete table
{{Short description|none}}
The following is a list of CubeSats, nanosatellites used primarily by universities for research missions, typically in low Earth orbits. Some CubeSats became their country's first national satellite. The extensive Nanosatellite and CubeSat Database lists nearly 4,000 CubeSats and NanoSats have been launched since 1998.{{Cite web |last=Kulu |first=Erik |title=Nanosats Database |url=https://www.nanosats.eu/index.html |access-date=2022-11-30 |website=Nanosats Database |language=en}} The organization forecasts that 2080 nanosats will launch within the next 6 years.
Research and development
- SBUDNIC was launched to test Arduino Nano and other commercial off-the-shelf technology in space, using a simple, open-source design.{{cite news |title=Student-led team delays launch of satellite to June 2022 |url=https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2022/03/student-led-team-delays-launch-of-satellite-to-june-2022 |work=The Brown Daily Herald}}
- An ambitious project is the QB50, an international network of 50 CubeSats for multi-point by different universities and other teams, in-situ measurements in the lower thermosphere (90–350 km) and re-entry research. QB50 is an initiative of the von Karman Institute and is funded by the European Union. Double-unit ("2-U") CubeSats (10x10x20 cm) are foreseen, with one unit (the 'functional' unit) providing the usual satellite functions and the other unit (the 'science' unit) accommodating a set of standardized sensors for lower thermosphere and re-entry research. 35 CubeSats are envisaged to be provided by universities in 19 European countries, 10 by universities in the US, 2 by universities in Canada, 3 by Japanese universities, 1 by an institute in Brazil, and others. Ten double or triple CubeSats are foreseen to serve for in-orbit technology demonstration of new space technologies. All 50 CubeSats may be launched together on a single Cyclone-4 launch vehicle in February 2016.{{ cite web | title = QB50 | url = https://www.qb50.eu/index.php/schedule | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402091248/https://www.qb50.eu/index.php/schedule |url-status = dead| archive-date = 2015-04-02 | publisher = von Karman Institute | access-date = 2015-03-30 }} The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the QB50 CubeSat was released on February 15, 2012.
- AAU CubeSat, by Aalborg University: The Danish students in this project, beginning in the summer of 2001, designed a satellite that would evaluate the technology and demonstrate the capabilities of the CubeSat concept.

There are many types of CubeSats ranging from 0.25u to 16u.{{cite web|last=Krebs|first=Gunter D.|title=CubeSat|publisher=Gunter's Space Page|access-date=December 6, 2022|url=https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sat/cubesat.htm}} In the Type column, the number corresponds to the (approximate) length of the CubeSat in decimetres. Width and depth are normally ten centimetres, or one decimetre. A 1U CubeSat measures approximately 1 × 1 × 1 decimetres, while a 6U CubeSat is six times the size, approximately 1 × 2 × 3 decimetres.[http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sat/cubesat.htm CubeSat], at Gunter's Space Page.
