In our project we are going to present a concept for the creation, launching, usage and exploiting of an innovative system of semi-autonomous, grouped in “swarm” satellites from one type with 24/7 link to Earth-based facilities and stations for control, transfer and analysis of space-gathered data. The innovation in our mission is the usage of a group of apparatuses that can work both like a structured group with one directed goal or like a loosely-chained system of autonomous machines, each with a different task or mission given by the control center on Earth.
