CubeSat usually comes in standard dimensions (10×10×10 cm cubic units) or multiple groups depending on the application and payload. The platform is made up of modular subsystems, which each have a specific role and function.
These subsystems are the structural subsystem, power subsystem, energy subsystem, thermal control subsystem, attitude control subsystem, communication and data handling subsystem and the payload subsystem. The project is designed to provide hands-on, research opportunities for undergraduate students. It aims to design, develop and analyze via 3U CubeSat: the first satellite developed by UAEU. The design and development team is made up of students from the College of Engineering, College of Sciences and the College of Humanities. It provides students with satellite design experience and exposes them to Space Science and research activities.
