Abstract:
A new dimension of space mission architecture design is emerging where hundreds to thousands of very small satellites will collectively perform missions in a distributed fashion. To support this architecture, high volume production of femto-scale satellites at low cost is required. This paper reports on the assessment of using SpaceChip, which is a monolithic "satellite-on-a-chip" based on complementary metal-on-silicon (CMOS) technology, for limited distributed space missions.
