A CubeSat-deployed solar sail with a lightness number of 0.025 can reach the asteroid 2016 HO3 in as little as 2.16 years:

The sail needs to be launched off a lunar/escape mission, but then its performance (both mass and time) exceeds an electric thruster.

To give you an idea of the flexibility: We integrated a Raspberry Pi #AI Accelerator with object detection into our CubeSat in an afternoon.
Imagine what you could do with 6 months of development.
So, what custom mission would you build?

Look at this! 👀
We're starting to get customer #AmbaSat-1 #ChipSat builds in for testing (ready for our 3U #CubeSat launch!), and we were thrilled to see this custom design.
While our satellites are fully programmable, seeing this level of customisation is just awesome. #ChipSat

Ha da poco passato la Critical Design Review la missione HENON dell'ESA, per cui Argotec è prime contractor. Sarà un CubeSat in grado di viaggiare nello spazio profondo e raggiungere la sua orbita finale in autonomia, senza dipendere da una sonda madre.

they have caitlyn jenner on their side. she's literally a hunter seeker with a proven record of being able to kill people with a giant SUV while making it look like mere gross negligence. they could have elon musk aim a de-orbiting starlink cubesat at him. it's up to what, two a day now?? easy

✨A tiny spacecraft, Henon, will bravely journey into deep space—alone! 🚀 It'll watch the sun & potentially warn us of solar storms hours before impact! ☀️ #SpaceTech

ESA's first stand-alone deep-space CubeSat Henon takes shape
The European Space Agency's upcoming Henon mission will be the first ever CubeSat to independently venture into deep space, communicate with Earth and maneuver to its final destination without relying on a bigger spacecraft. Once in its orbit around the sun, the carry-on luggage-sized CubeSat will observe the sun's emissions to demonstrate technologies capable of providing advanced warnings of solar storms hours before they reach Earth.

🛰️ D'ici fin 2026, @esa.int devrait lancer le CubeSat 12U Henon. Celui-ci serait alors le premier CubeSat à atteindre l'espace profond de lui-même en maneuvrant du point de Lagrange Terre-Soleil L2 à une orbite distante rétrograde autour du Soleil, qui l'amènera jusqu'à 24 millions de km de la Terre

(muttering quietly where op can’t hear me because it is cool and he gets to be happy about it) first cubesat already went into deep space three years ago. jammed full of my taylor swift lyrics. not for planetary science though just biology stuff
