Kurtin on Smallsats
Size matters. In his Via Satellite column this month, Owen D. Kurtin of Brown Raysman in New York, takes A Closer Look: Smallsats, and finds "the satellite industry is segmenting into use and application-driven spheres of large satellites and smallsats appropriate for different satellite services, with certain overlapping areas such as satellite telecommunications in which each may be appropriate and either complement each other or compete. It appears that while the demise of the large satellite platform predictions were wrong, the smallsat option is fully operational as well." (Dollars and Sense, June 2006).
