Abstract
In Earth Science and Telecommunications from space we are now transitioning from phase 1 (single monolithic satellites in GEO or LEO) to phase 2 which consists of distributed ensembles of LEO and GEO satellites. This however is not the end game. The third phase will be the manufacturing and assembly of satellites directly in space, allowing significantly larger apertures and orders of magnitude improvement in spatial resolution. The key challenges and opportunities of this paradigm shift are summarized and quantified.
