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 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aElectrical engineering 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aCommunications Engineering, Networks$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24035 606 $aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400X 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aElectrical engineering. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 14$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aCommunications Engineering, Networks. 615 24$aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis. 676 $a629.1 702 $aPelton$b Joseph N.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMadry$b Scott$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736020803321 996 $aHandbook of small satellites$91983067 997 $aUNINA
