Apart from training, the Indian Armed Services need Small Satellites for net-centric missions.

The planned launch of satellites in the coming year and beyond by the ISRO does not include small satellites.

The absence of any perceptible shift in Chinese VC enthusiasm for Indian space startups requires explanation, given how optimistic Chinese VCs have be

The rise of small satellite platforms has brought a paradigm shift in the manner satellite Earth observation (EO) business is conducted.

Over four billion people do not have access to Internet; that makes a huge two-thirds of the global population. In India, around four of every five people lack this basic resource. Various access technologies are being developed in different parts of the world to bridge the digital divide. Amongst these technologies, the emergence of small satellites carries immense promise. These satellites are used for applications ranging from remote sensing t

The past decade has witnessed the proliferation of small satellite technology in various domains including the military, academe and commerce. is paper explores the idea of utilising small satellites technology (of the order weighing less than 150kg) for specic aspects of India's space security interests. It will describe some of the programmes and missions of global leaders in space security, and examine specic applications of small satellite te

In 2017, India launched a record 104 satellites into space. Barring one, the rest of the satellites that were launched were small satellites.

Despite the failure of the August 7 rocket launch, the ISRO appears to be taking a determined but prudent path for the future.

The paper analyses small satellite activities within India in various institutions and identifies the opportunities as well as the gaps.

Small satellites have gained considerable importance in recent years. Although small spacecraft have existed for decades, their military applications have recently gained prominence owing to technological advances in their development and integration into the armed services of the major spacefaring countries across the world. This paper analyses the significance of small satellites in the C4ISR capabilities of the three service branches of the In
