Abstract
Small-, Mini-, Micro, Nano- and Pico- are the new prefixes that are changing the satellite concepts and market. Miniaturization of hardware and tools like additive manufacturing and automation are making the so called ” Second SmallSat Revolution” possible. Keywords as low-cost, shorter design to launch time, flexibility are the reason why the interest on these kind of satellites is increasing, especially for LEO constellations. In the coming years it is expected that the SmallSats market will surely grow up. To make this possible an innovation is necessary also in the launch services. Ridesharing can no more be the unique access to space for SmallSats, but it is necessary to develop new dedicated Mini Launchers to avoid a slowdown of the market.
Mini-LV must have the same characteristics of low cost and flexibility
