Small Satellites Big Shift
In the last 20 years, small satellites have been in great demand. Three thousand small satellites could be launched in the next five years to augment or replace existing satellite operations. Small satellites are affordable and can be mass-produced in large quantities, making them an excellent platform for developing space countries to expand their space industry capabilities. Small satellite applications are versatile and can improve education, health, communication, and disaster management.
