CubeSats are taking on more and more responsibility for remote monitoring of the Earth. As they become more ubiquitous, they will also gain more varied propulsion systems. Or, in the case of a new set of monitoring CubeSats from INTA, Spain’s Institue of Aerospace Technology, no propulsion system at all.
A goose is a particularly apt comparison for the satellite because they will use wings instead of a propulsion system to fly in formation. ANSER is made of a set of three satellites, each of which will be spaced about 10 km apart from each other. Not quite as close as a typical flying-v formation, but still not too far when you consider that they will orbit at a height of 500km from the ground anyway.
