A boom and a (possible) bust in small spacecraft production
...threshold for space activity. This trend is expressed in the noticeable boom in small spacecraft (SSC) production. Traditionally, SSCs include the following satellites: femtosatellites (10-100g), picosatellites (up to 1kg), nanosatellites (up to 10kg...
