For the past few years, we observed as new companies tried to develop their own small sat launch vehicles to carry small satellites into space. Sadly, due to several reasons that will be discussed in this video, most of these companies that even had already tried to launch their first rocket, stopped developing and continuing their small launcher program.
However, there are some new companies, with very interesting rocket ideas, that are trying to change all of this.
In this video, i will explain what is a small sat launcher in the first place, give some examples of why previous companies stopped development of their own small sat launch vehicle program, take a look at some of the new small sat launchers emerging, and finally do a small rough side-by-side comparison between all of these new launch vehicles.
