Next Generation of Cube Sats and Small Sats: Enabling Technologies, Missions, and Markets provides a comprehensive understanding of the small and medium sized satellite approach and its potentialities and limitations. The book analyzes promising applications (e.g., constellations and distributed systems, small science platforms that overachieve relative to their development time and cost) as paradigm-shifting solutions for space exploitation, with an analysis of market statistics and trends and a prediction of where the technologies, and consequently, the field is heading in the next decade. The book also provides a thorough analysis of Cube Sat potentialities and applications, and addresses unique technical approaches and systems strategies. Throughout key sections (introduction and background, technology details, systems, applications, and future prospects), the book provides basic design tools scaled to the small satellite problem, assesses the technological state-of-the-art, and describes the most recent advancements with a look to the near future. This new book is for aerospace engineering professionals, advanced students, and designers seeking a broad view of the Cube Sat world with a brief historical background, strategies, applications, mission scenarios, new challenges and upcoming advances. – Presents a comprehensive and systematic view of the technologies and space missions related to nanosats and smallsats- Discusses next generation technologies, up-coming advancements and future perspectives- Features the most relevant Cube Sat launch initiatives from NASA, ESA, and from developing countries, along with an overview of the New Space Cube Sat market
