Computers are getting smaller, faster and more capable, which has
enabled an entirely mew class of satellites: CubeSats. A mission
small enough that you can hold it in your hands, and yet powerful
enough to even travel to other planets and send messages
home.

Every year, our electronics seem to get smaller and more
powerful, with today's smart watches being more fully featured
than the computers Pamela and Fraser had as little kids. These
tiny processors, sensors, and transmitters are allowing tiny
satellites with powerful functionality, and today we take a look
at how this is changing space exploration.
