Nano/pico/femto-satellites: Review of challenges in space education and science integration towards disruptive technology

Abstract

This paper reviews the mini/nano /femto-satellites. The aim of this paper is to increase the awareness and interests of the students from the University of Montenegro in a space related research and technology development. This paper adds value to research where the main objectives of the study are: to identify the evolution path and origin of the dramatic changes of the architecture concept towards shrinking the size and mass of satellites; to explore the nature of improvements and benefits they allow to integration of sciences (such as biology and genetic research in space); to summarize the benefits associated with the accelerated maturity of CubeSat and to emphasize disruptive feature if CubeSats.
