China's CubeSat Ambitions Are Bleeding Your Budget? Chinese CubeSats are now offering sub-orbital science slots that cost less than a luxury car, yet the cumulative impact on research budgets is rising sharply. In my experience covering space tech, the price pressure stems from an oversupply of low-cost payloads
