The purpose of the Small Satellite Program Guide (SSPG) is to provide inspiration, processes, tools, and information for individuals and organizations that aspire to create and grow their own space program. This book addresses the more strategic aspects of a small satellite space program that might include one or several space satellite projects. Our focus is on identifying key stakeholders, funding sources, compelling rationale for small satellite programs, as well as providing insights to the infrastructure required to develop space systems and the capabilities and skills required of the program/project teams.
