Title

Small Satellites Potential for Future Integrated Applications and Services

type

oral

Description

This session seeks contributions that address new satellite missions, instruments, lessons learned, or plans for future small satellites, instruments, or missions. Small satellite missions are found in an ever widening range of disciplines – these missions cover the gamut from astronomy to earth sciences. Data from space missions are collected and distributed through space and ground-based systems. The goal of an integrated system is to provide the right information at the right place and at the right time in a cost-effective manner. Including a space-based element in an integrated application may enable that application, or even provide a unique and powerful enhancement to the services provided. Contributions that address the need to go beyond the traditional mission oriented (or vertical) organization and provide a service that integrates information from ground and space-based sources (the horizontal or distributed domain) are particularly encouraged.
