The ability to combine powerful computers, high-resolution sensors, and efficient communications equipment in small packages has increased the potential capabilities of small-satellite systems. In the area of remote sensing, however, there have been few commercial or scientific applications of small-satellite technology. In the past few years, the potential applications for this emerging industry in the areas of remote sensing, microgravity experiments, communications, and Earth exploration are becoming apparent. The technology, costs and applications of these systems are considered.
