Think small - In large numbers

Abstract

The development and use of microspacecraft are examined. It is proposed that 10-50 microspacecraft per year can be launched; up to 50 microspacecraft can be dispatched with traditional launchers; and 1-3 experiments can be performed on the spacecraft. Various applications for the microspacecraft are discussed and specific examples of proposed missions are presented. Some systems and instruments designed for the microspacecraft are described.
