The realization of a study on the current and future trends of the cost of access to space for CubeSat missions.

The increasing number of space-related applications and the development of miniaturized satellites (sometimes called CubeSats) recently became an exciting area in modern space science. Due to their diverse applications, smaller size, and low development cost. More sophisticated CubeSat missions have been recently introduced, signaling that CubeSats have started to progress from solely technical demonstration platforms to providing opportunities for low-cost actual research missions with a highly promising benefit in terms of commercial revenue. Despite major advancements in CubeSat technology, there is still a range of fundamental concerns regarding CubeSat barriers, pitfalls, and commercial effects. From both an academic and an industrial perspective, this report offers a thorough overview of various facets of CubeSat manufacturing and launch costs. The latest trends in CubeSat were discussed as well as an analysis of the launch cost and other variables that could influence the mission. An information-gathering approach was used from various proposed and launched missions, including journal articles, the official space mission webpages, and other publicly accessible satellite databases. Using data collected from various sources, we found that the latest launching price for future missions is influenced and modeled by various reasons. The Liquid propellant, miniaturized thrusters for small satellites, and modernized payload carriers could play a part in lowering the cost of potential launches. For instance, the RP-1 fuel used in Falcon 9 is expandable and reusable, increasing launch opportunities and low per-unit launch costs. Likewise, tiny satellites with miniaturized thrusters will significantly help change aerodynamics and launch processes. Whereas systemic payload structures can bear maximum weight, theoretically expanding the number of Nanosatellites deployed per launch. This paper attempts to facilitate various elements that make it practical in enabling a decision-making process related to technical aspects of the launch cost and future utilization of CubeSat technology
