Micro-satellites are currently of increasing interest, due to technical minimization. Their possibilities as well as their scope of missions is growing steadily because today, payloads with a mass of just a few kilograms are able to perform measurements that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. Another advantage is the fast and cheap development of micro-satellites, which makes them a suitable platform for technology evaluation. Hence, they provide the ideal opportunity to test new systems in space within a short timeframe and low budget.
Within the Stuttgart Small Satellite Program the Institute of Space Systems at the University of Stuttgart will develop and build several small satellites. After the completion of the laboratory satellite model ILSE and the setting up of the ground infrastructure, the following four small satellites will form the core of the program:
