Nanosatellites revolutionize space operations from "summary" of Space Forces by Fred Scharmen
Nanosatellites, also known as CubeSats, have transformed the landscape of space operations in recent years. These small, low-cost satellites have opened up new possibilities for conducting a wide range of missions in space. By leveraging advancements in miniaturization and commercial off-the-shelf components, nanosatellites offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional, larger satellites. One of the key advantages of nanosatellites is their ability to democratize access to space. In the past, space missions were typically reserved for large government agencies and well-funded corporations. However, with the advent of nanosatellites, even universities, research institutions, and startups can now design, build, and launch their own satellites into orbit. This democratization of space access has led to a proliferation of new players in the space industry, driving innovation and competition. Moreover, nanosatellites have re...
