- Robotbeat 6y agoStarlink satellites are MUCH larger than cubesats, which are usually 1.4kg per U and usually about 3U. A Starlink satellite is about 150kg and nowhere close to the cubesat form factor.
- Groxx 6y ago>ExoMG™ is the first ever Hall-effect thruster operating on a sub-100kg spacecraft. Small size definitely seems to be the main claim in this.
