John Batchelor and I welcomed Gary Oleson to the program to discuss the growth of the small satellite industry plus the industry's contribution to the economic growth underway in the space economy.  Mr. Oleson has written an excellent article on this subject which I encourage you to read.  Check out his May 16, 2016 article in The Space Review, "Effects of changing economics on space architecture and engineering."  You can read or download the article at www.thespacereview.com/article/2986/1.  Gary will also be a guest on The Space Show Monday, June 6 regarding this article and more.  During our Hotel Mars segment, we discussed the small satellite industry, the data and imaging demand by a full array of commercial customers, and the development of dedicated small sat launchers that when operational will enable small satellites, including cubesats, to be launched to their specific designated orbit rather going up on a ride share to a less than ideal orbit.  We talked about investment dollars flowing into this industry and the fact that students have commercial as well as learning opportunities by developing a small satellite.  Our guest also mentioned that small satellite constellations can do things that bigger satellites can't do such as image all of earth at one time.  Another topic discussed in our short segment dealt with the commercial space momentum for industry growth and that the U.S. being way out in front in commercial space leadership.
