IAA Study on Lean Satellites

摘要

The IAA study group 4.18, "Definition and Requirements of Small Satellites Seeking Low-Cost and Fast-Delivery", was initiated in 2014. Its objectives are to examine the definitions of small satellites, identify the requirements every satellite should follow regardless of its size or development philosophy and then reflect some of the findings to the ISO draft. After a series of meetings, the final draft of the study group report has been submitted to IAA Commission 4 in March 2016. The purpose of the present paper is to provide overview of the study group findings.
