Cubesat Planet-Finder In The Works
"A $5 million cubesat is definitely top of
the line, but not when it is being developed to perform work similar to that underway on the $600 million Kepler planet-finder mission. A group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is developing a cubesat dubbed ExoplanetSat to evaluate whether any Earthlike planets found circling bright, relatively nearby stars have orbits that would permit spectral analysis of their atmospheres."
