Abstract
The recent progress in cube satellites platforms and related miniaturization allows scientific payloads to be considered for these mini satellites. In this paper, we present and discuss some possibilities for miniature astrophysical experiments onboard cube satellites with X-ray and UV optics. Albeit miniature, these payloads are capable to provide valuable scientific results at a low cost. Additional to technical and scientific aspects, there are also educational issues.
