The opportunity to assess and conduct various experiments on different rock geological samples, enhancing your understanding of their characteristics and properties. 

Through hands-on experimentation, you will delve into the geological composition of rocks and gain valuable insights into their formation processes. CubeSats aid in rock geology through remote sensing technologies like high-resolution imaging, spectroscopy, and lidar mapping, enabling the identification of rock types, mineral composition, and geological structures. They monitor geological processes such as erosion and tectonic activity, providing insights into Earth’s dynamic geology. CubeSats equipped with magnetometers and gravimeters conduct geophysical surveys, mapping subsurface structures and mineral deposits. These satellites complement ground-based studies, offering additional spatial and temporal coverage. CubeSats provide a cost-effective and flexible platform for remote sensing and monitoring, facilitating geological research and exploration.

As you perform these experiments, you will carefully document your findings and observations in the CubeSat mission handbook. This comprehensive record will serve as a valuable resource for future analysis and reference, ensuring that your discoveries are effectively communicated and documented.

We explore the fascinating world of geology through experimentation and observation. Through this immersive experience, you will deepen your understanding of rock formations and contribute valuable data to our ongoing CubeSat mission.
