## Why It Matters
Enoch is an example of the CubeSat form factor, a key enabler of low-cost, rapid-access space missions because CubeSats use standardized 10 cm cubic modules that simplify design, manufacture, and ride-share launches. Its launch on 2018-12-03 aboard a Falcon 9 places it within a wave of small satellites using large, modern orbital launch vehicles to reach space efficiently. The Falcon 9 is notable for being a partially reusable orbital launch vehicle by SpaceX, representing contemporary commercial launch capacity from the United States. As a cataloged object (COSPAR ID 2018-099V, SCN 43777), Enoch is tracked and recorded within the international registry of space objects, contributing to the documented population of small satellites in orbit. The existence of a Wikipedia entry in German further indicates that Enoch has verifiable public references and is indexed in at least one language edition of Wikipedia.
