These pages commence with a history of small satellites, and go on to show why small satellite missions have recently gained considerable interest. The SSHP concentrates on 'modern' small satellites, but data on many of the original small satellites has also been included. The SSHP classifies and lists past, present and future small satellite missions. Launchers are also dealt with in detail, because cost reduction is a one of the major driving forces in reducing satellites size, and small satellites therefore place challenging demands on existing launchers and launch services.
