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 $aArtificial satellites$xLaw and legislation$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aArtificial satellites$xDesign$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aArtificial satellites$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aArtificial satellites$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aArtificial satellites$xDesign 615 0$aArtificial satellites 676 $a629.46 702 $aPelton$b Joseph N. 702 $aMadry$b Scott 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418442003316 996 $aHandbook of small satellites$91983067 997 $aUNISA
