Abstract

There are quite a lot of cube sat subsystems that can be procured on the African continent to develop Cube Satellite (CubeSats). However these are not noticed by many relevant professionals that can design and integrate them to functional CubeSats in Nigeria.frican countries And other This is despite the ever increasing role this class of satellite is playing in educational, scientific research and commercial satellite weather, earth observation and communication services. The paper also identified basic physics principles and mathematical models for the prediction of the attitude of a spacecraft and the units that makes up the CubeSat. The thrust of this paper is to explore and bring to fore these vital subsystems, their uses and configuration for CubeSat project with a view of encouraging increased research activities in CubeSat development, with some information on their power requirements, typical cost, sources, their interrelationship and combination to perform the task of a weather monitoring CubeSat.
