During the last decades, the concept of distributed space systems has significantly progressed in terms of space applications, including Earth remote sensing. This chapter is devoted to a critical analysis of the achieved improvements and of the areas of major key issues in order to analyze potential and risks of distributed space systems. A discussion of future activities needed to prepare more advanced distributed space missions is also provided. In particular, payloads and applications are first discussed. Then, guidance, navigation, and control as well as other technological challenges, including modularity and architecture, follow.

Abstract
During the last decades, the concept of distributed space systems has significantly progressed in terms of space applications, including Earth remote sensing. This chapter is devoted to a critical analysis of the achieved improvements and of the areas of major key issues in order to analyze potential and risks of distributed space systems. A discussion of future activities needed to prepare more advanced distributed space missions is also provided. In particular, payloads and applications are first discussed. Then, guidance, navigation, and control as well as other technological challenges, including modularity and architecture, follow.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
