Microsatellites are small spacecraft typically weighing between 10 and 100 kilograms. This category forms part of the small satellite (smallsat) family along with even smaller subclasses: nanosatellites (1–10 kg), picosatellites (0.1–1 kg), and femtosatellites (<0.1 kg). Among the earliest examples is Sputnik 1, launched in 1957, which is considered the starting point of this technological lineage due to its mass being close to that of modern microsatellites.Mantzouris, G. “Micro and Pico Sat
