The successful utilization of small satellites for scientific missions relies on continual infusion of technology innovations, creative approaches, and new capabilities, all of which advance at a very rapid pace. Achieving these advancements requires open and efficient exchange of results, experiences, and ideas. Community learning is particularly challenging in this fast-growing community involving an increasingly diverse set of players from all sectors: industry, academia, government, and the public at large. Building and cultivating a community of practices around small satellite technology development and mission implementation are key objectives for NASA’s Small Spacecraft Systems Virtual Institute (S3VI). The institute has developed and provides access to a large collection of products, tools, and activities to advance clear communications and coordination regarding small spacecraft undertakings across NASA, to provide mission enabling information to the smallsat research community, to engage with stakeholders in industry, government, academia and the general public, and to support the overall small spacecraft community. New and updated offerings by the S3VI include: The2021 NASA State of the Art Report of Small Spacecraft Technology, the Small Spacecraft Reliability Initiative Knowledge Base, and the “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” webinar series. These and other institute products will help scientists and engineers planning future missions answer pertinent questions, such as: What is the state of the art of small spacecraft technology that can be used? What are some best practices that other experts and teams can recommend? What did previous missions accomplish? What lessons could be learned from previous missions? What flight-proven parts are available? What emerging technologies could be taken advantage of? A status will be presented on S3VI activities facilitating community learning within the small satellite science community through the collection, sharing, and exchange of experiences with small satellite mission development and execution across all NASA mission areas.
