Abstract
Small satellites flight experiments, using CubeSats, are growing rapidly as a low-cost and quick turn-around platform for education, focused science observations, and advanced technology validation. This talk will describe recent investments by NASA´s Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO) to rapidly advance the TRL of various hardware and software technologies targeted for future Earth Science Decadal Survey Instruments via the CubeSat platform.
