Draft:Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology

Review waiting, please be patient.

This may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,673 pending submissions waiting for review.

If the submission is accepted, then this page will be moved into the article space.
If the submission is declined, then the reason will be posted here.
In the meantime, you can continue to improve this submission by editing normally.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology (SMART)^[1] was a European Space Agency programme for building technology demonstrator space probes and testing them in outer space as space missions.^[2]

SMART missions include:

SMART-1, a mission to test electric propulsion rockets, by using Hall-effect thrusters; and also used as an outer space probe, and lunar probe.^[3]
SMART-2 LISA Pathfinder, a mission to test the feasibility of formation flying multiple satellites for precision laser measurement, for use as a gravity wave detector ^[4]^[5]
SMART-3, an unfulfilled 2006 design deadline ^[6]
SMART-4, an unfulfilled 2009 design deadline ^[6]
