Nanosatellite technology means we can send a greater variety of payloads, on industrialised platforms into space reducing the need for customisation, which in turn helps drive down costs and cuts delays. And with technology like the Expleo Nanosatellite for Solar-irradiance Observation (ENSO) CubeSat, we are opening opportunities for new entrants to take their first step into the market. With a dramatic reduction in cost to launch and a wider range of applications, CubeSats can be used for Space Situational Awareness services (the tracking of objects in orbit and predicting their future positions and associated threats), for climate change monitoring or communication.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We also see evidence of nanosatellites taking us to new heights of interoperability, consider the ExpleoLissa\u2122 for example &#8211; an intelligent, adaptable software-defined nanosatellite payload that is capable of in-orbit reconfiguration. It\u2019s designed to be compatible with a 3U CubeSat, which is small enough to be held in the palm of your hand.
