Overview |
Interests in small satellites have been growing
rapidly over the past two decades among
universities, governments, businesses, and other
organizations worldwide. Once solely based on
local initiatives from universities around the
world, the CubeSats are now the de-facto
standard for any organization willing to start a
space program, or aiming to optimize the trade
between mission capabilities vs. cost.
In India, several Universities and Colleges are
embarking on small satellite programs with
innovative missions and emerging technologies.
While several teams such as IIT-Bombay have made
significant inroads, major challenges remains!
The CubeSat Tutorial is designed to help both
experts from institution having launched
satellites, to those embarking on new small
satellites with limited budget.
The CANEUS international Small Satellite Sector
Consortium (SSSC) is dedicated to the micro and
nano technology implementation, coordination,
and standardization of the small (1 – 100 kg)
satellite industry. Taking an approach similar
to that designed for the semiconductor industry,
namely the SEMATECH industry group, the SSSC
focuses on providing opportunities to
participate in cutting-edge technical
discussions and high risk/high cost developments
while establishing the future direction for the
micro, nano and pico satellite industry.
The CANEUS SSSC emphasizes the identification of
end-users of small satellite missions and their
specific needs. Partners collaborate to
establish how the small satellite industry can
respond to these mission or product
requirements. This has the effect of opening up
the small satellite market and providing
business and investment opportunities by
facilitating dialogue and the establishment of
cooperative relationships. |
