The exploration of space has always been a fascinating field. Every technological advance opens up new possibilities and pushes back the boundaries of our understanding of the universe. The progress made in this field since the first satellites were sent into space has been exponential, and today we are witnessing a quiet but profound revolution: the era of nanosatellites. Thanks to their speed and flexibility, nanosatellites offer the possibility of rapidly implementing new technologies capable of improving observations of the Earth’s environment. However, the development of these nanosatellites must not compromise strict standards throughout all phases of the mission: from drafting the scientific specifications, designing and building the instruments, calibrating and testing them, to validating and operating the mission and analyzing the scientific results. With climate change caused by human activity becoming a major concern, we need reliable measurements of key climate variables more than ever before in order to characterize climate and environmental change. These measurements are used to feed into climate models that contribute to IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) assessments. Due to their modest costs and rapid deployment compared to large space agency missions, nanosatellites offer the possibility of increasing the number of measurements and improving their geographical and temporal coverage. Rapid technological advances enabling the miniaturization of instruments and the exponential increase in data processing capabilities, including the use of embedded artificial intelligence software, are making high-quality observations aboard CubeSats possible that were unthinkable just a few years ago. Using examples of CubeSats designed to study climate, the Earth’s radiation balance, solar spectrum variability and atmospheric composition, readers will discover the technical and scientific challenges involved in designing, launching and operating nanosatellites in this second volume. The technological innovations that make these achievements possible will be explored, as well as the prospects they open up. The bottom line is that nanosatellites are ushering in a new era of space exploration, where collaboration, innovation and democratizing access to space are the name of the game. This book is an invitation to learn about this ongoing revolution and understand how these tiny spacecrafts can change our future.
