Abstract

The increasing usage of space capabilities in the military domain highly requires the development of Nanosatellite polar constellations. In this paper we will analyze the main features of small satellites constellations that could be useful in military purposes. The Nanosatellite or CubeSat technology aim at miniaturization, high modularity and software defined payload, allowing the functionality of entire military space applications and services portfolio, at major low financial costs, translating its scalability and flexibility into a capability. In addition, the efficient combination between low latency and high throughput bandwidth, integrated in federated mega-constellation architectures, transforms CubeSat satellite networks into resilient platforms for development of advanced technologies (5G, IoT), according with the military requirements standards.
