Nanosatellites and microsatellites provide a cost-effective solution for Earth observation, enabling more frequent data acquisition and real-time monitoring. Additionally, the small size and reduced cost of nanosatellites and microsatellites make them ideal for deploying constellations. Constellations of small satellites offer advantages such as enhanced coverage, increased revisit rates, and improved data collection capabilities. These constellations are particularly useful for Earth observation and remote sensing applications, where a continuous stream of data is required for monitoring dynamic environmental changes.
