In the past decade, the space industry has seen significant changes, primarily driven by the emergence of private space companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic. This evolution has mainly been focused on lowering the barrier of access to space by  lowering launch costs and increasing access to space.

Yet, on the satellite side, the conceptual approach of space missions hasn't changed a lot. Of course, the miniaturization of electronic components has allowed the rise of CubeSats and with them an easier access to orbit, opening the way to a diversification of space uses. But we still conceive satellites as in the beginning of the space age: a platform that provides the necessary to a main instrument during a mission, strictly defined well before launch.
