Small Satellite Industry

The small satellite industry focuses on designing, building, and launching smaller spacecraft, usually weighing less than 500 kilograms. These satellites are often more cost-effective and quicker to produce than traditional large satellites. They are used for various purposes, including Earth observation, communication, scientific research, and technology testing. With advancements in miniaturization and launch technology, small satellites have become increasingly popular among companies, governments, and universities, enabling broader access to space and fostering innovation in satellite applications and services. This growth is driving the future of space exploration and data collection.
