Commercial Small Satellite Development

Commercial small satellite development involves designing and building compact, cost-effective satellites for various uses like communication, Earth observation, or research. These small satellites, often called CubeSats or minisats, are created by private companies or organizations for commercial, scientific, or government purposes. Advances in technology have made it easier and cheaper to produce high-performing satellites, enabling faster deployment and new business opportunities. This sector is growing rapidly, providing innovative solutions for data collection, global connectivity, and space research, all while reducing costs compared to traditional larger satellites.
