The advantages of small satellite missions are:
more frequent mission opportunities and therefore faster return of science and for application data
larger variety of missions and therefore also greater diversification of potential users
more rapid expansion of the technical and/or scientific knowledge base
greater involvement of local and small industry.
![Page 6: Earth from Space, 3rd Int. Conf., Dec. 4-7, 2007, Moscow, Russia > Dr. R. Sandau > 1 Small Satellites for Earth Observation Prospects & Limitations Rainer.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56649eb05503460f94bb64f1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Earth from Space, 3rd Int. Conf., Dec. 4-7, 2007, Moscow, Russia > Dr. R. Sandau > 6
Small satellite missions are supported by several contemporary trends:
Advances in electronic miniaturization and associated performance capability;
The recent appearance on the market of new small launchers (e.g. through the use of modified military missiles to launch small satellites);
The possibility of ‘independence’ in space (small satellites can provide an affordable way for many countries to achieve Earth Observation and/or defense capability, without relying on inputs from the major space-faring nations);

Future of Small Sats for Remote Sensing
New capabilities
the convergence of data acquisition and data visualization technologies
the ready availability of new small launchers and the rise of “space tourism”
the development of smaller, lighter, lower power satellites that can act as a constellation or independently
![Page 16: Earth from Space, 3rd Int. Conf., Dec. 4-7, 2007, Moscow, Russia > Dr. R. Sandau > 1 Small Satellites for Earth Observation Prospects & Limitations Rainer.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56649eb05503460f94bb64f1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Earth from Space, 3rd Int. Conf., Dec. 4-7, 2007, Moscow, Russia > Dr. R. Sandau > 16
Convergence of data acquisition and data visualization technologies
Example:
NASA’s “A Train” (Aqua, CloudSat, CALIPSO, PARASOL, Aura, and OCO)
+NDVI small sat for crop yield forecasting in a particular region,
Aerosol and cloud correction using data from the A Train.

Earth from Space, 3rd Int. Conf., Dec. 4-7, 2007, Moscow, Russia > Dr. R. Sandau > 17
Small launchers & „Space Tourism“
Getting into space is still a challenge and costly
During the last 10 years more small launchers at prices reasonable compared to the cost of a small sat (e.g.NASA/DLR GRACE constellation with
EUROCKOT, SS-19 ICBM)
New impetus of „space tourism“ (Oct.4th, 2004, Burt Rutan & Paul Allan win the AnsarX PRIZE)
Looking back: At the turn of the last century, air travel was relatively risky and quite expensive.
Now we fly e.g. apples half way around the world at prices that are competitive with local transport & production.

Conclusions
Developing Small Satellites for Remote Sensing is within the means of many nations
They provide enormous opportunities :•To do more with less•Address local and global needs•Provides an affordable means to improve the temporal resolution•Focus the development of the technical infrastructure of a country•Reduce risk in the use of space
