It is the sense of Congress that— small satellites— are increasingly robust, effective, and affordable platforms for carrying out space science missions; can work in tandem with or augment larger NASA spacecraft to support high-priority science missions of NASA; and are cost effective solutions that may allow NASA to continue collecting legacy observations while developing next generation science missions; and NASA should continue to support small satellite research, development, technologies, and programs, including technologies for compact and lightweight instrumentation for small satellites.
