This chapter presents an overview of past and ongoing small satellite-related initiatives in Brazil and discusses the importance of these initiatives on several fronts such as education, training, research, science, applications, and business opportunities in the context of the Brazilian space sector. For this purpose, a brief history of early initiatives in the 1990s is provided together with a description of recent national small satellite projects, from mini down to pico-space objects, and an examination of synergies with other space activities in Brazil. This compilation of the major facts about the use of small satellites in Brazil is a helpful contribution for professionals interested in space activities in the country and in South America.
