1: Small Satellites

Where traditionally large satellites have paved the way for some incredible innovations we use every day, such as GPS and weather forecasting, these small satellites are enabling even more of a space revolution, with their lower costs, closer proximity to earth, and fast build times. From internet connectivity anywhere on earth to 3D printing satellites, the future of satellites in space technology is an exciting place to be.

In our first episode, we’re exploring what the small satellite revolution means for satellite manufacturing and the data we can receive from space. With reduced cost and quicker development time, small satellites open up the space industry to a new range of organisations.
