There appears to be exponential growth in the number of micro-satellites being built, but because of the high cost of launch services, few of these micro-satellites are being launched. The only practical avenue open to get these smaller payloads launched is as secondary payloads. As is often the case with hitchhikers, they have a desired destination, but are usually dropped off short of that destination. SpaceDev is developing a family of small and inexpensive micro-kick motors, with a varying degree of capabilities, to help facilitate these small payloads getting to a satisfactory destination. The technology used is safe, simple and scalable.
