Global Small Satellite Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025



Research Summary

A small satellite, often referred to as a smallsat or minisat, is a spacecraft with a mass significantly lower than traditional satellites, typically ranging from a few kilograms to several hundred kilograms. These satellites are designed to perform a wide range of functions, including Earth observation, communication, scientific research, technology demonstration, and education. Small satellites leverage advancements in miniaturization, lightweight materials, and commercial off-the-shelf components to reduce costs and development timelines, making space more accessible to a broader range of organizations and institutions. They are often launched into orbit as secondary payloads aboard larger rockets or deployed in constellations for improved coverage and redundancy. Small satellites play a crucial role in advancing space exploration, Earth monitoring, telecommunications, and various other applications, driving innovation and democratizing access to space.
