This poster highlights the JPL cubesat missions. NASA's CubeSat Programs provide opportunities for small satellite systems to fly as auxiliary payloads on planned missions. These spacecraft (each about 10 cm on a side) facilitate science, exploration, technology development, and advance educational goals in partnership with universities, industry, and NASA. JPL's Earth exploration CubeSats are designed to support Earth science technology and research.
