San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/16/2019 -- Global Small Satellite Market: Overview
Small satellites are miniaturized satellites with mass usually ranging from 1 to 500 kg characterized by low budgets required for making them and with a lifespan of two to five years. The advent of these satellites has opened up an exciting paradigm in application areas that increasingly rely on space information and intelligence.
Small satellites are poised to transform applications such as weather prediction, military surveillance, telecommunication, and monitoring of air and sea traffic, and forecasting of crop yields. The rapid pace of development has enabled scientists and students to make small satellites equipped with functional capabilities comparable to that of large satellites. Moreover, these can be launched without worrying about the exorbitant cost factor.

As a result, satellite operators are augmenting their launch capacity. The constantly rising demand for low-cost operational services is a notable factor boosting the small satellite market.
Global Small Satellite Market: Market Potential
In recent years, the launch of small satellites by universities, research groups, and technology companies has proliferated in number in several developed nations. Of special significance is designing of small satellites by university students and then putting them into the orbit for educational and research purposes After seven years of relentless research, students at Brown Space Engineering Club of Brown University have designed a small satellite called EQUISat. The satellite is of 4 inch cube and was launched from NASA's Wallop Flight Facility on May 20, 2018 and is included in the supply capsule of a NASA space station. According to a student of the University, the small satellite will be used to test new battery technology based on lithium ion phosphates. The batteries can be used for powering applications which includes powering a NASA's newly planned rover.
The cost of making EQUISat was a modest US$3,776 and the wiring and circuitry was done by students without using machines. The small satellite will remain in the orbit for up to a period of two years, after which it will get burnt while falling toward the earth. This is a great way of promoting education, according to one of the team members. Such developments contribute in steady evolution of the market.
