        <description>Abstract : In the 25 years since they were introduced, CubeSats have grown from small educational experiences to full-fledged missions. The University of Colorado Boulder has been involved in CubeSats for almost 20 years, and specializes primarily in scientific missions. At least nine missions led by CU Boulder have been launched and operated, and another seven are being prepared for launch in the next two years. These missions span science goals ranging from solar X-ray observations, radiation belt measurements, electromagnetic waves in space, magnetic fields, astrophysics and exoplanets, and more.  In this talk, I will give an overview of CU Boulder’s approach to CubeSat missions, with a focus on three missions that have been developed in parallel over the past four years. I will describe how the missions were conceived and awarded, their science goals, and the development process. I will further describe the future of space science CubeSats at CU Boulder and elsewhere. Professor Robert Marshall (University of Colorado) studies the Earth's upper atmosphere, ionosphere, and radiation environment through modeling, data analysis, and instrument development. He currently leads the development of three CubeSat missions with different science goals, all slated to launch in early 2026.</description>
