Introduction
Small Satellites II
Keen interest in small satellites has been building in recent years based on their intrinsic capabilities to conduct science missions faster and cheaper than systems employing larger spacecraft. Whether individually or in constellations, small satellites represent a unique platform that provides significant scientific return while enabling users to test new technologies or to provide educational and training opportunities for students. This workshop is aimed at promoting the use of small satellites for remote or in-situ upper atmospheric sensing by providing a forum for members of the community to share their results, experiences, and recommendations.
During the morning A: Small Satellites I session, invited talks will describe past and current missions as well as address systems engineering considerations and spacecraft operations, including launch systems and opportunities and funding resources.
Payload design, including novel sensor technologies, supporting CEDAR science will be explored in a series of invited talks during the lunch break following Session I. A pizza lunch will be provided in the Anasazi Ballroom for the audience.
In the afternoon session, the educational opportunities associated with small satellite design, construction, and launch will be described in a series of invited talks. A panel discussion will follow, in which audience members may participate by giving brief presentations (1-2 slides, 5-minute time limit). Those wishing to contribute material should contact Lara Waldrop before June 25.
