Weather Forecast From Small Satellite

The Main Features of Small Satellites

Research and Development

• The new technology content is high, the development cycle is short (about 1 year)

• Low research funding (tens of millions of RMB, for example, 300 million USD large satellites can be replaced by a 60 million USD small satellite constellation)

Network

• Can be further networked to form a "virtual satellite" with a distributed constellation

• The launch of small microsatellites is light in weight, small in size, and coupled with mass production, the production costs are low

Launch

• Can be launched with small rockets, or launched as an auxiliary payload for large rockets, with low launch costs

• Using ground (water) surface artillery launches to meet the needs of rapid response
