This work assembles chapters from contributors across our planet to document technologies, applications, missions, licensing requirements, and lessons learned by individuals and organizations that have participated in the nanosatellite revolution. This book is not intended as a ""how to"" or as a university reference to design, build, and fly nanosatellites but as a deeper-level reference on what has and hasn't worked in previous nanosatellite programs. Many chapters act as a historical reference for particular programs.
