%X CubeSats have become a relevant technology and philosophy for the private space sector, using them for operational missions like Planets constellation for Earth Observation with 3m resolution. To understand the evolution of optical capabilities different small satellite databases were reviewed, focusing on LEO, optical payloads, and missions deployed over the last decade. The classification was performed to break down and organized nearly one thousand spacecraft. Capabilities of this spacecraft were compared to traditional missions such as Chiles 140 kg SSOT and theoretical limits for their telescopes. It was found that almost ¾ of them are deployed in the most active orbits in LEO, SSO, and ISS. The capabilities of the latest generation Planet Dove are getting near the order of magnitude for SSOT. The main difference is the challenge in the number of spacecraft and ground segment required to be able to download and process the data.
