CubeSats as space labs for measurements of ubiquity of biological evolution

The role of CubeSat for education is well established. Nano satellites provides an appealing way for training students to space activities and more generally to complex technological projects, from fundamental and engineering science to project management and communication. Nano-satellites represent also an excellent alternative to instrumental testing. In this paper we explored the CubeSats as lab in space for biosciences such as astrobiology and astrochemistry.
