What is Small Satellites Market Scope?
The small satellite is envisaged to provide a platform for stand-alone payloads for earth imaging and science missions within a quick turnaround time. Growing demand for low-cost, miniaturized satellites and increasing demand for Earth observation applications are major driving factors and propelling the growth of the global small satellite market. Global armed forces are keenly focusing on enhancing their existing communications framework to obtain a tactical advantage over their adversaries, this has led to significant growth of the global small satellite market in the forecast period.
The Small Satellites market study is being classified by Type (Minisatellite (100-500 kg), Microsatellite (10-100 kg), Nanosatellite (1-10 kg) and Others(Picosatellite and Femtosatellite Less Than 1 Kg)), by Application (Communication, Earth Observation and Remote Sensing, Scientific Research & Exploration, Mapping and Navigation, Surveillance and Security, Meteorology and Space Observation) and major geographies with country level break-up. According to AMA, the Global Small Satellites market is expected to see growth rate of 21.28% and may see market size of USD2867.0 Million by 2026.

Market Influencers and their development strategies
In May 2020, Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) SNC’s Dream Chaser spacecraft, known as “America’s Spaceplane™,” which is the world’s only non-capsule, commercial spacecraft capable of a runway landing, received a NASA contract to perform cargo delivery and disposal services from the International Space Station.
In July 2020, L3Harris has received a contract from the US Air Force for developing a constellation of small spy satellites. The constellation of small satellites will provide imagery to military operators on the ground. The company will task, command, and control the satellite system, as well as perform on-board processing of data, to deliver imagery products directly to warfighters. and In February 2020, Surrey Satellite Technology received a contract from the UK Space Agency, which confirmed it would invest USD 419 million per year with ESA for the implementation phase of its Lunar data-relay spacecraft, Lunar Pathfinder.
