Session
Technical Session II: Systems, Buses
Abstract
The development of a small spacecraft bus is presented. The approach applied seeks to respond to the requirements of potential users as represented by a large data base of payload missions, while minimizing cost. The development results in a general purpose spacecraft design that is responsive to a wide range of mission requirements, and provides a clear definition of capabilities and interfaces to facilitate user mission design.
