Abstract

CubeSat represents a class of miniature satellites with applications in space and academic research, which stands out for its low cost and simplified manufacturing. This work aims to model the CubeSat development process based on the guidelines proposed by the European Cooperation for Space Standardization, using both the knowledge contained in regulatory documents and the knowledge of those working at the SpaceLab of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. The proposed modeling was implemented on the Draw.io platform, a process automation tool. As a result, a structured and systematic methodology was obtained for the stages involved in the development of CubeSats, which aims to contribute to the standardization and improvement of workflows in small aerospace projects.
