Small satellite launch strategies

New, large constellations will increase the demand for small satellites. SpaceX and established players will aim to control much of the market, but industry inefficiencies will persist, and small satellite launch service providers will have to find and make a place of their own. Our space and satellite experts, Christopher Baugh and Dallas Kasaboski, discuss how the vendors in this space need to address: the sizeable number of small satellites to be launched; the intensity of competition from established players; and the challenges of technology development.
