    Title

    Access to Space for Small Satellite Missions

    type

    oral

    Description

    A key challenge facing the viability and growth of the small satellite community is affordable and reliable space access. Topics of interest for this session include the utilization of dedicated launches; development of ride-share systems, auxiliary payload systems, and separation and dispenser systems; and responsive integration approaches that will enable efficient small satellite access to space. Includes lessons learned from users on technical and programmatic approaches. For a dedicated discussion of small satellite propulsion systems, please refer to session B4.5A-C4.8. For a discussion of small launchers concepts and operations, please refer to session D2.7.
