Small Satellite Market, by Satellite Size (Minisatellite, Microsatellite, Nanosatellite, Picosatellite, Femtosatellite), by Application Type (Earth Observation, Telecommunication, Scientific Research, Technology Demonstration), by End User (Civil, Defense, Commercial, Government), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Small satellite is also referred as miniaturized satellite or small sat, usually under 500kg mass. Small satellites are designed for a specific missions such as geological monitoring or communications and are often laced with a single instrument. According to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, around 6,200 new small satellite are expected to be launched during 2018 – 2028.
Market Dynamics
Increasing adoption of small satellites in earth observatory for several aspects such as weather forecast and agricultural or waste land management is expected to boost the market growth. Small sat also plays a key role in disaster management. For instance, in November 2018, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) launched HySIS— the earth observation satellite from its Satish Dhawan Space Center. The satellite is tasked to offer data related to agriculture, forestry, soil survey, geology, coastal zone studies, inland water studies, environmental monitoring, and pollution detection from industries.
Small satellite reduces large economic cost of launch vehicles and cost associated with construction of satellites. For instance, according to University of Colorado at Boulder November 2018 report, a cubesat mission costs around US$ 2 million to build and operate, which is far less than full-sized satellite expanses.
