SeeMe
Abstract
The SeeMe program explored methods to provide near-real-time (for example, no older than ~90 minutes) images and other data directly to individual users' handheld devices from space using a very low cost constellation of inexpensive, disposable small satellites routinely and inexpensively put in orbit through low-cost (for example, horizontal) launches. SeeMe sought to radically shorten the entire cycle: ground development time, launch cadence, and on-orbit request-to-image-delivery time through new satellite manufacturing techniques, advanced low-cost aperture technologies, leveraging alternative launch concepts, and a novel direct-to-user command and data exfiltration architecture.
