Small Satellite Launchers
Small satellite launchers are specialized rockets designed to carry small satellites, typically weighing less than 500 kilograms, into orbit. These launchers provide a cost-effective and efficient way to deploy multiple satellites at once, catering to the growing demand for satellite services in areas like communication, Earth observation, and scientific research.
The rise of small satellite launchers has been driven by advancements in technology and the increasing number of startups and companies entering the space industry. Notable examples include Rocket Lab and Arianespace, which offer dedicated launch services for small payloads, making space more accessible for various applications.
