TRENDS IN SMALL SATELLITE SYSTEM IN MEXICO

Abstract

A technological development of space in Mexico is proposed. Up to date, satellites are design, build and launch to the space by other countries. Satellites worked at an academic level to achieve this objective, a State policy is necessary to integrate basic and applied scientific research carried out by the country's institutions in the productive sector.

Small satellites for education institutions and research centers are currently being designed and built because of the relatively low cost compared to the geostationary ones that cover the American Continent. However, there was a lack of regulatory management, permits, launching bases, and systemic integration in companies.

Therefore, in order to obtain a Systemic Model was the production of a situation diagnosis with the corresponding planning.
