With the ongoing miniaturisation of components, the utility of
smaller satellites is increasing. Many believe in the near future
that small satellites will be able to perform all functions that
larger satellites currently perform today. It has been suggested
that these satellites will be less expensive, thus offer a lower
risk to the consumer in case they fail before their mission design
life. This book looks at the ability to build and operate smaller
satellites with current technology to perform covert Space Control
and Space Situational Awareness missions near geostationary orbit.
The investigation determined if space qualified Commercial Off The
Shelf (COTS) components and current technology could be used to
build covert smaller satellites. The largest satellite was sized to
be undetectable from earth based sensors. Subsequent CubeSat sizes
were selected to determine how small a satellite could be built
with COTS components and current technology to perform the assigned
missions. A comparative analysis was then performed to determine
how these satellites could be cost effectively launched to orbit. A
cost estimate was performed to determine the entire life cycle cost
for each satellite size excluding launch and integration segments.
Using that information, the best satellite size was determined.
