Hosted payloads and small satellites have become increasingly important for many organizations, including the military and government, to ensure success by offering cost-effective solutions for access to space. While hosted payloads and small satellites offer different trade-offs, they both offer attributes mission planners are looking for – mission flexibility, lowered costs, less risk, faster time to orbit, reduced operational and technical complexity.

Brought to you by the producers of the SATELLITE Conference & Exhibition, the Hosted Payload and Smallsat Summit is a full-day event of comprehensive workshops and forums led by representatives from commercial, government, military, civil space and academic research markets, along with industry networking sessions and an evening reception. The Summit brings the satellite community together to discuss the trade-offs and attributes of hosted payloads and smallsats, and how they fit into mission configuration.
