Abstract New NASA mission concepts now being studied involve many small spacecraft operating collaboratively, analogous to swarms in nature. The swarm concept offers several advantages over traditional large spacecraft missions: the ability to send spacecraft to explore regions of space where traditional craft simply would be impractical, greater redundancy (and, consequently, greater protection of assets), and reduced costs and risk, among others [176, 181].
