Fundamentals of Small Satellite: - Design and Developmental Stages

Because of the emerging technology low-cost Nano satellite will increase for future space missions. These could be either individual, single-pmpose, nano satellites or large constellations of nano satellites used for communications, increase for future space missions. Again, the community appears to be dividing into those who can build low-cost nano satellite and those who continue to build large, expensive systems. Creating nano satellite represents a new ethic and a new way of doing business in space. From the early beginning of space industry, satellites has proven to be a vital resource in a very wide range of activities, and they have evolved by time embracing new development as well as economic sectors. This books provides an overview of satellite technology and the development stages and processes involved in the design and development of small satellite.
