Abstract
In recent years outer space is increasingly becoming more accessible, as the costs necessary to launch objects in low orbit or even beyond is significantly lower than ever before. One of the factors that contributed to this trend is the development of microsatellites and particularly CubeSats. CubeSats are becoming more and more prevalent in the space industry as they can be used for primary missions thanks to the improvement of technology which allows for the implementation many functionalities in smaller volumes, but most significantly they can act as support satellites for bigger missions resulting relatively easy to carry and deploy. One of the main examples is the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission that will demonstrate the kinetic effects of crashing an impactor spacecraft on the surface of an asteroid for planetary defense purposes.
The DART spacecraft will also carry a secondary spacecraft called LICIACube, a 6U (unit) satellite that will separate from the main spacecraft 10 days before the impact to acquire images of the impact and ejecta plume as it fly-bys past the asteroid
