In this new segment on FastenerExperts.com, we will be exploring different cool technologies, inventions, gadgets and other devices that we find interesting.
Most of these posts will be based on either customers we work with or suggestions for you all so feel free to let us know about anything cool you hear or read about! So, for our first “Cool New Technology” piece, we take a look at the CubeSat.
Massive advances in technology and miniaturization have led to smaller and smaller satellites. Now, a company called CubeSat has created a “kit” that you can buy to make your own satellite.
Sound crazy? It is.
