SpaceX is looking to install P-PODs and ESPA rings on all future Falcon 9 missions for #smallsat secondary payload launch opportunities.

2011-08-09 08:44:43

SpaceX pricing: $200-325K for PPODs to LEO, $350-575K to GTO; $4-5M for ESPA rings to LEO, $7-9M to GTO. #smallsat

2011-08-09 08:47:24

SpaceX target prices: 200 - 325K per PPOD to LEO, 350 - 575K to GTO #SmallSat

2011-08-09 08:49:50

SpaceX's Dustin Doud says this PPOD/ESPA initiative is response to taking the F1e from the market; will reevaluate at year end. #smallsat

Jordi Puig-Sauri: US launchers late to the cubesat game, but doing well now. Launch tempo increasing to 2-4 missions/yr #smallsat

2011-08-09 09:10:42

Jordi: diversity of launchers creates issues with non-recurring engineering costs, potential compatibility concerns for cubesats. #smallsat

2011-08-09 09:14:42

Ready for day two of #SmallSat some really exciting topics

2011-08-09 23:11:51

Siegfried Janson of The Aerospace Corp. talking the past of SmallSats specifically the last 25 years #SmallSat

2011-08-09 23:13:35

Siegfried Janson, Aerospace Corp: in 1986 25 smallsats launched, 24 of which were Soviet Strela microsats. #smallsat

2011-08-09 23:21:22

Janson: in 2010 there were 26 smallsats launched, but much greater diversity of s/c, missions, users. 17 were nanosats (1-10 kg). #smallsat

2011-08-09 23:22:01

Janson: key tech advances aiding smallsats: microprocessors, MEMS, solar cells, batteries, modeling and sim s/w, GPS, Internet #smallsat

2011-08-09 23:33:18

Gio Minelli of @NASAAmes talking on results from the successful #O/OREOS mission. "Showed you can do really good science in the 1U size"

2011-08-09 23:59:41

Gio of @NASAAmes also mentioned their new mission MiSsT. We will be working with them to take their free flyer payload and integrate it...
