DESCRIPTION:CubeSats stand at the forefront of the New Space Revolution\, 
 a paradigm shift in space exploration characterised by reduced launch cost
 s and increased accessibility to space. These miniature satellites\, defin
 ed by their standardised dimensions and modular design\, have emerged as a
  pivotal technology with some implications for research in astronomy. With
  their standardised dimensions and modular design\, these Nanosatellites e
 nable a wide range of experiments that were previously the domain of large
 r\, more costly missions. In my talk\, I aim to introduce you to valuable 
 opportunities that can emerge by leading a CubeSat project with a special 
 interest in payloads dedicated to astrophysics research. As a cost-effecti
 ve space instrument\, CubeSats unlock observational windows across the ult
 raviolet\, far-infrared\, and low-frequency radio spectra\, which are inac
 cessible from Earth's surface. Beyond their technical capabilities\, these
  satellites enable sustained observations of celestial bodies over extende
 d periods\, free from the scheduling constraints of larger telescopes.
