Abstract
This chapter provides a listing of many of small satellite constellations that are being deployed or have been announced for launch by many commercial and governmental entities around the world. There are now so many of these governmental units, organizations, and companies deploying small satellite constellations. It is difficult to keep pace with the many networks that are now planned. Further, the network configurations for these constellations are also often in a state of flux. Thus, one might go to the web sites for specific constellations to seek the latest information about these systems. Further, there are various organizations that provide reports on small satellite constellations. Northern Sky Research, Bryce, and Euroconsult are just some of such sources.
This chapter is a technical document with key information regarding the Handbook of Small Satellites.
