Minisatelliter

Minisatelliter, also known as microsatellites, are small artificial satellites typically weighing between 100 and 500 kilograms. They are designed to perform various functions such as Earth observation, communication, scientific research, and technology demonstration. Minisatelliter are smaller and less expensive than traditional satellites, making them more accessible for educational institutions, research organizations, and commercial entities. These satellites often use standardized components and modular designs to reduce development time and costs. They can be launched as secondary payloads on larger rockets, which further lowers the financial barrier to space exploration. Minisatelliter have contributed significantly to advancements in space technology by providing cost-effective platforms for testing new technologies and conducting experiments in microgravity. Their compact size also allows for constellations of multiple minisatelliter to be deployed, enhancing coverage and functionality. Despite their smaller size, minisatelliter play a crucial role in modern space missions, offering valuable data and insights while pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space exploration.
