Abstract
Small Satellites are becoming increasingly
popular due to their low cost, minimized volume and reduced
design and development time yet fulfilling all the ne9cessary
objectives of a space mission. This paper presents the design
of a small satellite using COTS, with 55 Kg of weight in Low
earth orbit for remote sensing application. The satellite
executes an orbit phase change of 90 degree in four weeks.
The suitable COTS components are also identified with the
respective manufacturer information as well. At the end, the
overall Power, mass and volume budget is calculated
satisfying the pre-defined requirements and objectives.
