Robust Bus Systems for CubeSats

This bus doesn’t use wheels to move around, but a CubeSat can’t get anywhere without it. In the world of these small, standardized, inexpensive satellites, a “bus” refers to the hardware foundation that provides it with power, communications, thermal stability, and other “services” a payload needs to function. Whether enabling data transfer for internet-enabled appliances, such as thermostats and refrigerators or tracking weather conditions, CubeSats continue to mature and support everyday services.
