cubesat groups


Below is a list of (Selected) ELaNa (Educational LAunch of NAnosatellites) cubesat groups, including launch dates and links to information on the satellites. If readers know of additional information, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.

Since all ELaNa cubesat groups include other satellite names, launch covers and other postal items for these satellites are found under those other names.

1Regarding the "CalPoly" connection to ELaNa-4 as found in the text of this USA launch cover: There were eight Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployers (P-PODs) aboard the Minotaur-1 rocket that ferried the cubesats to space. The P-POD was designed and manufactured by the California Polytechnic State University (CalPoly) of San Luis Obispo CA, to integrate CubeSats into the launch vehicle. After the main payload deployed, the CubeSats separated from their P-PODs.
