Analysts’ Views on Global Small Satellite Market

Small satellites are a low-cost alternative that helps space agencies, educational institutions, non-profit groups, and commercial enterprises conduct mission in low-Earth orbit. Small satellites have made it possible to conduct a variety of scientific investigation and technical demonstration in the orbit at low cost, on time, and with relative ease. A small satellite, or smallsat, is a satellite of low mass and size, usually under 1,200 kg (2,600 lbs). Small satellites help space agencies around the world increase access to space, lower the cost of new space missions, and advance scientific and human exploration. Small satellites are also used for a variety of applications, such as navigation, surveillance for defense purposes, communication, and others.

Key Trends and Analysis of the Global Small Satellite Market:

Increasing number of space exploration activities is one of the key trends expected to augment the growth of the global small satellite market. For instance, small satellites are nowadays recognized as a tool for conducting high-profile space missions, and the number is growing constantly. Small satellites are also increasingly useful in the civil space exploration. For instance, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Earth Venture missions include low-cost small satellite missions intended for cutting-edge Earth science. The Small Explorers program funds and flies small satellites for a range of low-cost space science missions. NASA’s Astrophysics Pioneers Program funds and flies small satellites dedicated to innovative astrophysics research.

Global Small Satellite Market – Drivers

Increasing demand for LEO satellites to propel market growth

Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems are relatively small, and are located in orbits much closer to the surface of the Earth than the traditional communications satellite. LEO satellites enable close to global coverage and are therefore expected to become important pillars of future communication standards. In March 2023, Bharti Group-backed OneWeb announced the launch of another batch of 36 satellites from the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO’s) space centre in Sriharikota Andhra Pradesh, India. The launch, the company’s 18th, takes OneWeb’s LEO satellite count to 618, positioning it to start global satellite broadband services by end-2023.

Technological Advancements to augment the market growth

Miniaturization of components, improvements in the propulsion system, and more efficient power sources have enhanced the capabilities of small satellites, enabling them to perform complex tasks in orbit. In May 2023, Rocket Lab USA, Inc. a leader in launch services and space systems, signed a deal to launch U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA’s) Starling mission, a multi-CubeSat mission to test/demonstrate autonomous swarm technology, as well as automated space traffic management for groups of spacecraft in low-Earth orbit. Starling mission is designed to test technologies to enable future “swarm” missions.  

Global Small Satellite Market – Restrain

Limited payload capacity to hamper market growth

One of the key factors expected to hamper growth of the global small satellite market is the limited payload capacity and capabilities. Small satellites have limitations in terms of thrust, payload, and other subsystems that they can carry due to their compactness. The compact size of small satellites restricts the amount of payload they can carry, limiting their application in certain missions which require larger instruments or equipment. The compact size also constrains their ability to carry key components needed to conduct complex missions and affects the types of instruments or equipment and experiments that can be included on the satellite.
