Research abstract
The major challenge in constellation-wide deployment of tactical payloads in low-Earth orbit (LEO) lies in achieving the performance requirements that are imposed by constellation dynamics while maintaining a design simplicity that is compatible with large-scale production, along with typical constraints on size, mass, and power consumption. Cesium’s proposed solution is a small reconfigurable payload. This approach offers the right balance between performance, size, weight, and power consumption.
