The future of smallsats: The smallest satellites of the world going to ready for the very next generation

The big news is the small satellite front of the world going to ready for the very next generation. From super secret agencies & the U.S. military to academia & private firms, as well as world space agencies & NASA, ultra small satellites are the big thing.

Cornell University has begun to delve into a postage stamp size satellite on a chip design, called Sprite, envisioning a swarm of these tiny probes exploring planetary atmospheres for organic compounds.

Call them a powerful force in the universe. Smallsats have already shown their ability to monitor disasters, study Earth's environment & support agriculture, cartography & earth science missions.

The future of smallsats, there will be growth, new missions, & new ways of working together, said Bille,expressing his own views & not speaking for Booz Allen Hamilton policy. CubeSats are like the personal computer of this industry.

Hunsaker's personal crystal ball predicts networked satellites with individual IP addresses controlled through the Internet & providing individualized positioning, communications, social & multimedia capability.Perhaps just like personal computing & cell phones that have common utility among individual consumers today, smallsats will also follow that trend, said colleague Tom Hunsaker, also an associate at Booz Allen Hamilton.

Bille concluded: The age of microspacecraft is on solid ground now. There's a definite trend toward putting small things together to do big accomplishments.

The Future Arrives Next Week

TRSF, an anthology of original science fiction stories, is in stores on October 4.



Back in May, we told you that Technology Review was planning to publish an collection of all-new near-future science fiction stories, grounded in the kinds of technological breakthroughs that we report on here every day. Now the TRSF is almost here—you can preorder a copy today, or wait till it goes on sale on newstands next Tuesday. (Digital editions will be available soon after.)

We've got an amazing selection of writers from around the world, including legends like Pat Cadigan & Joe Haldeman, current stars like Cory Doctorow & Elizabeth Bear, & emerging talents like Vandana Singh & Ma Boyong (this is Boyong's first time appearing in English).

For a full rundown of authors,visit the TRSF microsite, which also has a video describing how the cover of the TRSF was created by the iconic science fiction illustrator, Chris Foss. This is Foss's first major U.S. commission in recent years, & we've also reproduced six of his classic covers within the pages of the TRSF.

The 12 stories in the TRSF range from a light-hearted look at the (almost certainly) inevitable future of kitchen appliances talking to each other, to a more worrisome tale of a researcher fighting her company's attempts to turn therapeutic tool into a mind control technology. They all fulfill the goal of the TRSF: to showcase thought provoking science fiction that explores some of the implications of technological developments in ways that journalism cannot.
