An important outcome of the working group will be a book published in the Scientific Report Series by Springer Verlag (see https://www.issibern.ch/publications/sr.html). This volume is a collection of in-depth papers/chapters summarizing the contributions and discussions of the group. It should provide a coherent picture of the current state of the subject.

Details of this end-to-end study would be presented in a comprehensive way, explaining the scientific and technical motivations of the study, the way it was run, and its outcome. The goal is to put together a reference document that could next be used by ESA, CNES and other space agencies for assessing the improvement that a low-inclined nanosatellite would bring to the on-going ESA Swarm mission. It is also anticipated that as a further outcome of this study, a number of scientific contributions could be published separately in the scientific literature.
