Nanosatellites, CubeSats of the NewSpace Era for Space Observation 1 traces the evolution of space exploration, from 1957 and the first astronomical observations, to the NewSpace era. This book highlights major scientific and technological advances, while emphasizing the crucial role of collaboration between the public and private sectors. The book explores the history of astronomy, from early observatories such as Goseck and Stonehenge, to modern satellites, and traces major theoretical revolutions, such as the adoption of the heliocentric model and the development of the laws of gravitation. It also looks at the development of celestial mechanics and the mathematical tools that enabled this evolution, while highlighting technological innovations in space research, from telescopes to space probes, satellites and nanosatellites. This book also highlights the emergence of NewSpace, characterized by the growing involvement of the private sector in space exploration and the presence of key players. Finally, it stresses the importance of training and research to support these advances in a rapidly changing field.

Nanosatellites, CubeSats of the NewSpace Era for Space Observation 2 presents the entire life cycle of a CubeSat, from the design phase to orbital operations. The CubeSat nanosatellite carries instruments designed for space observation and study, integrated into a mechanical architecture that supports the control and communication electronics. This mechatronic system is optimized to ensure maximum robustness and reliability under operational conditions. Internal couplings within the satellite s architecture, as well as external interactions with the space environment whether thermal, vibrational, electromechanical, thermomechanical, electro-thermomechanical, or related to electromagnetic compatibility are modeled using the finite element method. Environmental testing such as HALT/HASS, based on experience from previous missions and simulation results, allows for the integration of a reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) approach. This book also traces the evolution of our knowledge and methods regarding light, an essential payload component and luminous phenomena from Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages, and discusses current advances in quantum optics, including wave-particle duality, quantum entanglement of photons, and vacuum fluctuations, sources of technological innovations.
