Smaller and cheaper satellites are important for national security, for the space industry and for our planet. They also happen to be great investments. Innovators in industry, academia and government have already proved that small satellites can be built quickly and affordably while still being capable of doing significant things. Such satellites are now in space sending back high-definition video, providing important climate data, helping to track the world's maritime shipping assets, expanding our knowledge of the universe and helping test advanced technologies that will someday be used in the biggest satellites.
