Hundreds, indeed thousands, of these innovative and highly cost-efficient satellites are now being launched from Earth to establish low-cost space systems. These smallsats are engaged in experiments and prototype testing, communications services, data relay, internet access, remote sensing, defense and security related services, and more. Some of these systems are quite small and are simple student experiments, while others in commercial constellations are employing state-of-the-art technologies to deliver fast and accurate services. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of this exciting new field. It covers the technology, applications and services, design and manufacture, launch arrangements, ground systems, and economic and regulatory arrangements surrounding small satellites. The diversity of approach in recent years has allowed for rapid innovation and economic breakthroughs to proceed at a pace that seems only to be speeding up. In this reference work, readers will find information pertaining to all aspects of the small satellite industry, written by a host of international experts in the field. 606 $aSolar system 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aTelecommunication 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aSpace Physics 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics 606 $aCommunications Engineering, Networks 606 $aEnvironmental Monitoring 615 0$aSolar system. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aTelecommunication. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 14$aSpace Physics. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aCommunications Engineering, Networks. 615 24$aEnvironmental Monitoring. 676 $a629.46 676 $a629.46 702 $aPelton$b Joseph N. 702 $aMadry$b Scott 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427685903321 996 $aHandbook of small satellites$91983067 997 $aUNINA
