A miniaturized satellite is a small spacecraft that is designed to conduct specific missions in space. However, there are several other names that can be used to refer to a miniaturized satellite, including nanosatellite, microsatellite, pico-satellite, and femtosatellite. Nanosatellites are slightly larger than a tiny cube, while microsatellites are slightly larger than a small suitcase. Pico-satellites and femtosatellites are even smaller, with the former being about the size of a smartphone and the latter being about the size of a sugar cube. Each of these types of satellites can perform useful functions in space, such as Earth observation, communication, and scientific research.
