A '''PocketQube''' is a type of miniaturized satellite for space research that usually has a size of cube with 5&nbsp;cm sides (one eighth the volume of a [[Engineering:CubeSat|CubeSat]]), has a mass of no more than 250 [[Gram|gram]]s, and typically uses [[Finance:Commercial off-the-shelf|commercial off-the-shelf]] components for its electronics.

Beginning in 2009,<ref>{{cite web|last=Twiggs|first=Bob|title=Making it small|url=http://mstl.atl.calpoly.edu/~bklofas/Presentations/DevelopersWorkshop2009/7_CubeSat_Alt/1_Twiggs-PocketQub.pdf|access-date=7 September 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303185449/http://mstl.atl.calpoly.edu/~bklofas/Presentations/DevelopersWorkshop2009/7_CubeSat_Alt/1_Twiggs-PocketQub.pdf|archive-date=3 March 2016}}</ref> [[Organization:Morehead State University|Morehead State University]] (MSU) and Kentucky Space developed the PocketQube specifications to help universities worldwide to perform space science and exploration. While the bulk of development comes from academia, several companies build PocketQubes, such as Fossa Systems and [[Company:Alba Orbital|Alba Orbital]].<ref>[http://www.albaorbital.com  Alba Orbital]</ref> PocketQube projects have even been the subject of Kickstarter campaigns.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kickstarter|url=http://gigaom.com/2013/10/01/kickstarter-campaign-will-help-you-build-a-satellite-for-less-than-600/|access-date=1 October 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Kickstarter, Wired UK|url=https://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-09/23/pocketqube|access-date=22 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130925060938/http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-09/23/pocketqube|archive-date=25 September 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> The PocketQube format is also popular with amateur radio satellite builders.<ref>{{cite web|title=AMSAT UK|date= 22 November 2013|url=  http://amsat-uk.org/2013/11/22/50sat-eagle2-pocketqube-operational/|access-date=22 November 2013}}</ref>

== Design ==

The PocketQube specification accomplishes several high-level goals. Simplification makes it possible to design and produce a workable satellite at low cost. Encapsulation of the launcher-payload interface takes away the prohibitive amount of managerial work previously required for mating a piggyback satellite with its launcher. Unification among payloads and launchers enables quick exchanges of payloads and utilization of launch opportunities on short notice. PocketQube is similar to [[Engineering:CubeSat|CubeSat]] in this regard.

The standard was first proposed by [[Biography:Bob Twiggs|Professor Bob Twiggs]] of Morehead State University, and the intention was for a satellite which could fit in a pocket, hence the name PocketQube.

== Workshops ==

The first US workshop was held at [[Organization:Ames Research Center|NASA Ames]] and at Cape Canaveral in April 2014. There was a three-year gap until the next PocketQube workshop was held at [[Organization:Delft University of Technology|TU Delft]] in The Netherlands in March 2017. The third workshop took place also at TU Delft in March 2018, with 22 presentations and 70 attendees. This is now an annual event for the PocketQube development community.

* * Tinysat do not follow the currently recognized PocketQube Mechanical standard as they deploy from a cubesat with a rail interface and not from a dedicated MR-Fod style PocketQube deployer on a tabbed baseplate (which all other orbital pocketqubes on the list have used). This makes them a variant of the PocketQube standard.

== ''PocketQube'' vs ''PocketQub'' ==

The PocketQube standard originally started as '''PocketQub'''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Standard|url=http://pocketqub.org/standard/|access-date=7 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140316204305/http://pocketqub.org/standard/|archive-date=16 March 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> This was changed in 2012 by [[Biography:Bob Twiggs|Professor Bob Twiggs]] of Morehead State University. The standard is now referred to as PocketQube.

== Launch ==
As of December 2019, the only launch brokers capable of providing launch integration for PocketQube satellites are Fossa Systems, Libre Space Foundation, [[Company:Alba Orbital|Alba Orbital]] and GAUSS Srl.
