Small satellites, or smallsats, are miniaturized satellites typically weighing between 1-500 kg. They have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their lower cost and rapid development timelines compared to traditional larger satellites. Small satellites can be used for a variety of purposes, including Earth observation, communication, scientific research, and technology demonstration. They are often deployed in large constellations to provide global coverage or specific services. Small satellites are designed to be launched as secondary payloads on larger rockets or as part of dedicated small satellite launch vehicles. The development of small satellites has revolutionized the space industry by enabling more frequent and affordable access to space for a wide range of applications.
