Space 3.0 - Emerging Commercial Applications for Small Satellites
“Radical advances in small satellite technology are fast approaching, which will allow innovators to create from today’s “garages” powerful consumer and commercial nanosatellites. This new era of entrepreneurial space will create a market where companies and educational groups can design, build and operate small, highly functional spacecraft (eSats). Join SEF Spaceworks, Stanford University, Aviation Week and other sponsors on March 24 in Palo Alto, California for a unique workshop exploring the emerging commercial and educational uses and applications for these eSats. Space is limited so register now.”
