Description:
Small satellites are revolutionizing the space industry [1]. In particular, nanosatellites are very attractive because they enable access to space with a significant reduction of costs for satellite industries, and a shorter development time with respect to large satellites [2], [3]. Moreover, thanks to modern technologies, relatively complex missions can be planned for Earth observation [4], remote sensing [5], communication technology experiments [6], hardware validation and other scientific missions, as well as educational purposes [7]-[10].
