Abstract The development of’ smaller, faster, cheaper and better1 spacecraft has enabled many countries and universities to build, launch and operate their own small satellite thereby providing them with direct access to the advantages of space. Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), based at the Surrey Space Centre at the University of Surrey, has built and launched 15 multi-mission micro- and mini-satellites into low Earth orbit. Its successful approach of ‘Affordable Access to Space’ has enabled SSTL to develop unique experience of launching microsatellites in a cost effective manner. This paper will outline the SSTL experience in launching small spacecraft and also discusses issues related to the future of the small satellite and constellation commercial launch market.
