Methodology

Approach

Develop innovative satellite systems:

  • Simplify individual satellites and distribute tasks across multiple satellite platforms to retain multi-sensor functionality
  • Emphasize pico- and nano-class platforms
    • Rapid access to space via piggyback launch opportunities
    • Mass, volume, and power constraints are technology drivers
  • Leverage technology innovations from other industries

Transition technology to other satellite classes - micro, mini, and beyond.
