BROOKLYN, NY, UNITED STATES, January 29, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to a study published by Polaris Market Research, Global Nano Satellite and Micro Satellite Market was estimated to be USD 1,233.7 million in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 19.7% during the forecast period.

Micro-satellites are artificial satellites with mass of 10 kg to 100 kg whereas nano satellites are artificial satellites weighing between 1 kg to 10 kg, and measuring around 30-by-10-by-10 centimeters. The demand for low cost micro and nano-satellites has increased significantly as companies operating large satellites are looking for lighter and cost effective platforms. These satellites are used for transmission of information for telephony, telecommunications, data communications, real time data relay, broadband internet, remote monitoring and asset tracking, maritime communications, video conferencing, and broadcast radio/TV. Satellite based communications play an important role in military operations owing to its high reliability, and security. Several military operations use the Iridium and Globalstar nano and micro satellite constellation for mobile communications services. Nano and micro satellites are placed into low Earth orbit which reduces latency of internet services to 20-30ms. This is a good alternative for developing nations, where establishing a network using optical fibers can be expensive.

The demand of nano and micro satellites for earth observation has increased over the years. Earth observation is the major application of these satellites. High demand for satellite imagery in the government sector including federal agencies, local, and state governments for various purposes such as urban planning, border mapping, infrastructure security, homeland security are contributing significantly to the growth of the market. One of the major factors positively affecting the growth of the market is the large number of satellites that have been launched by various agencies such as NASA, European Space Imaging, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Multispectral imagery offered by satellites for various applications such as wetland mapping, vegetation analysis, and examination of soil features have increased the adoption of satellite imaging in the agriculture sector. The growing awareness regarding scarcity of natural resources, incidences of oil smuggling, and theft of oil and gas have led to the widespread use of satellite imagery in the energy sector. Satellite imaging has the capability to map infinite amount of land surfaces while providing significant insights. The use of geological data provided by satellites for survey and exploration purposes has contributed to the growth of the market. Increasing application areas of nano and micro satellites in earth observation along with affordable prices supplements the growth of this market.
