Small satellites are satellites of low mass and size, usually under 500 kg (1,100 lb). While all such satellites can be referred to as "small", different classifications are used to categorize them based on mass. Satellites can be built small to reduce the large economic cost of launch vehicles and the costs associated with construction. Miniature satellites, especially in large numbers, may be more useful than fewer, larger ones for some purposes - for example, gathering of scientific data and radio relay.
Global Small Satellite key players include Lockheed Martin, Northrop Gruman, Raytheon, etc. Global top three manufacturers hold a share about 50%.
