    Title

    Small Satellites

    Description

    Compared with larger satellite, the features of small satellite are advanced, fast, cheap and responsive. Their use is very wide, and their commercial operation has been achieved in various domains such as communication, earth observation and science. Small satellites are now an efficient and attractive solution for space exploration, where they can either perform valuable missions autonomously, or be used as auxiliaries to enhance the results of a main – larger – spacecraft. This track will focus on new concepts of space exploration using small satellite, constellation or formation and related technologies, including missions for deep space exploration and manned space missions. The commercialization and application scenario will be also be discussed.
