The Role of Small Satellites in Capturing High-Resolution Imagery and Monitoring Environmental Changes.

Small satellites play a pivotal role in supplying crucial data for Earth observation and remote sensing applications. They excel in capturing high-resolution imagery, monitoring shifts in the environment, tracking weather fluctuations, and facilitating efficient disaster management. This invaluable data finds utility across diverse sectors such as agriculture, forestry, urban planning, and environmental monitoring, enabling well-informed decision-making and enhancing resource management practices. An illustrative instance is the November 2020 research report published by Lund University's Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, underscoring the significance of remote sensing and Earth observation. Notably, meteorological satellites orbit at an altitude of approximately 36,000 km above the equator, distinguishing them from their counterparts that revolve around 800 km above Earth. These meteorological satellites exhibit varying imaging capabilities, with some capturing frequent but less detailed images, while others offer infrequent yet remarkably high spatial resolution, surpassing even one-meter precision in certain scenarios.

North America Leads the Small Satellite Market.

North America dominated the global small satellite market and it hold the major market share in 2022, and it expected maintain its dominance through the forecast period, primarily due to the growing development in the telecom and communication industries. Satellite communication technology has proven instrumental in delivering data, voice, and video services to remote locations, facilitating efficient logistics support by tracking vehicles and vessels. This robust demand for small satellites in North America's communication and telecom domain is a key driving force behind the market's expansion.

Asia Pacific is expected to be growing at the fastest rate for the small satellite market during the forecast period. Due of the wide range of uses for small satellites, including military surveillance, asset tracking, weather forecasting, monitoring disasters, and other applications countries like India, China, Japan, Australia, and others are investing substantial amounts in small satellite programs. For instance, China sent its first solar exploration satellite into orbit in October 2021.
