Small Satellites: Fad or Fantastic?

This lecture will be given by Professor Martin Sweeting, Executive Chairman at Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd and Director, Surrey Space Centre.


Modern small satellites, taking advantage of the dramatic advances in commercial ‘off-the-shelf’ (COTS) technologies developed for the industrial and consumer markets, have developed capabilities that are rivalling their conventional large satellite counterparts but at considerably lower cost and shorter timescales to launch. This is changing the approach to space and enabling new business models. What is the reality of small satellite missions and how far can they go?

This lecture will be given by Professor Sir Martin Sweeting FRS, FREng, FIET, FRAeS, Executive Chairman at Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd and Director, Surrey Space Centre.
