Virtual Satellites

Nice.

Each of the System F6 modules performs a subset of the tasks performed by a large satellite and works together in a cluster to provide the same overall capability. By allowing the various functions of a spacecraft to be developed and launched separately, this type of “fractionated” system reduces overall program risk, provides budgetary and planning flexibility, speeds initial deployment, and offers greater survivability.
