16th Symposium on Small Satellites Missions, Naples, Italy, IAC 2012, 1-5 October 2012
«Small Satellite Missions» refers to the class of missions conducted using satellites weighing less than 1000 kg. For clarity, we further classify small satellites as microsats if they weigh less than 100 kg; nanosats if they weigh less than 10 kg; and pico or cubesats if they weigh less than1 kg. This symposium, organised by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), addresses small satellite missions and projects in science, exploration, and technology for government, industry, and academic programmes. The symposium scope encompasses space science, earth observation, and exploration missions, as well as the cross-cutting topics of small satellite programmes in developing countries, cost-effective operations, affordable and reliable space access, emerging and promising technologies, and cross-platform compatibility applications and standards. For IAC 2012, the symposium is introducing the topic of Small Distributed Space Missions, to be held in cooperation with B4.7A as a possible implementation of modular, reconfigurable, rapid systems.
