Abstract

Research Questions:

• How did the small satellite ecosystem emerge and evolve?
• Although the first modern small satellite UoSat-1 was successfully launched in 1981, and the CubeSat dominant design was introduced in 1999, the sales takeoff of small satellites did not occur until the early 2010s. What explains this long time period?
