Abstract: Nano and microsatellites have been widely used in communications, remote sensing, electronics, recon-naissance and other fields, and have become one of the important directions in future aerospace. On the basis of sys-tematically clarifying the concept and scope of the nano and microsatellite industry, this paper analyses the development process of the nano and microsatellite industry. Starting from the nano and microsatellite current development status, this paper summarizes the characters of nano and microsatellites industry professional entities, and then forecasts the trend for nano and microsatellites development in terms of technological development, commercial launching, invest-ment and financing channels.

Key words:  , nano and microsatellite industry, professional entities, forecast
