It is where current technology enables the modern cameras to capture images in high resolution. These are tools specifically designed to match the small satellites sizes. It is where the camera generally serves as the payload in such projects. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The satellite constellations are widely used for obtaining Earth images with high quality. Many companies are therefore actively <a href="https://bootsnipp.com/snippets/4Knm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">working</a> on achieving this. This is true for several major players in the New Space industry like Planet Labs. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Small satellites have also revolutionized earth mapping. They basically provide accurate and current maps of every corner around the world from remote to urban areas. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> <strong>Communications</strong></span></li> </ul> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Small satellites are also common for usage including IoT along with internet connectivity. Space has emerged as an optimal solution to enhance the communication networks efficiency. It generally faces clear limitations in coverage.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> <strong>Asset tracking</strong></span></li> </ul> <p><span data-contrast="auto">For years space and geolocation have been interconnected through systems including GPS and Galileo. Nanosatellites also have a major role in asset tracking. Similar to application in communication sector in asset tracking activities the payload needs to be a device capable to gather information from Earth. This also necessitates storing the data and transmitting it back to the Earth stations. These satellites generally offer an optimal way to guarantee reliable and precise service that have full coverage worldwide.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Satellite tracking for fleet management including cars and industrial machinery has been in use for many years. The nanosatellite constellations also have the capability to support conventional networks which ensures accurate controls to the vehicles even within remote regions. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Logistics companies particularly handle an immense volume of goods daily. It ranges from items worth only a few cents to those valued at some million euros. Nowadays we expect to know the real time location and estimated delivery time no matter how much it costs. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This is especially true when dealing with logistics containers or fragile goods that may need controlled conditions. It also applies in multiple transportation modes like air or see to cross the globe. Small satellites further provide a powerful solution to enhance security and traceability within the logistics industry. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> <strong>Science</strong></span></li> </ul> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The applications in this field are significantly vast. It ranges from radar technology to micro laboratories for conducting space experiments. Each satellite payload tailored to the specific objectives of the project. Small satellites are increasingly crucial for storm detection and create climate models that enhance weather forecasting. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto"> <strong>Security and defense</strong></span></li> </ul> <p><span data-contrast="auto">For a long time space was dominated by a few countries. The ability to independently launch and manage space and satellite projects has been reserved for the most powerful countries. But the rising New Space has permanently altered this reality. Space has significantly become more accessible. Democratization is reaching businesses and countries eager to initiate their first space mission or bolster their existing capabilities. In certain instances these programs focus on national security particularly for emergency response actions. It therefore fosters the need for small satellites. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335551550":6,"335551620":6,"335559685":720}"> </span></p>
