The Polar mission to launch satellites from India last month led to 20 spacecraft in orbit. Along with its main cargo - a 727 kg mapping satellite called Cartosat - the rocket carried another 19 heavy loads, with a total weight of only 560 kg between them. Twelve of these were a flock of doves satellites from the planet's labs, a US based land-imaging company.

The largest number of small satellites launched at the same time to date was the 33 sent to orbit in June 2014 by the Russian Dnepr Cluster Mission. A new record is set for later this year when Sherpa, a US-based Spaceflight Industries satellite deployment system, carries 87 small payloads to a variety of scientific and commercial customers along with the large Formosat 5 satellite Of Taiwan, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Stuart Martin, executive director of the Satellite Applications Catapult in Harwell, UK, says there are advantages to Earth observation in going small. "By having a large number of small satellites instead of some large ones, you can fly over the same piece of ground much more frequently to get pictures.
"A conventional constellation of satellites could take a detailed picture of a particular place every week or two," he says. "Now we're talking about being able to observe everywhere on Earth every 15 minutes." That would make a big difference in monitoring crop growth or a natural disaster.
According to common industry usage, a "small satellite" has a mass below 500kg. There are several ways to classify small satellites. One puts "mini-satellites" between 500kg and 120kg, "micro-satellites" at 120kg and 10kg, and "nano-satellites" below 10kg.
A term often heard in discussions of small satellites is CubeSat - a 10 cm cube based on the standard nano-satellite design. These modular units can be effectively packaged in larger groupings, up to six times their original size, allowing multiple efficient launches.
