Abstract SSETO is the result of a phase-A study in context of the small satellite program of the University of Stuttgart that demonstrates the capability of a university institute to build a small satellite with a budget of 5million Euro. The satellite will be capable of observing exoplanets in a Neptune–Earth scale and obtaining data of interstellar dust. Due to a system failure of NASA׳s Kepler mission, there is currently (October 2013) a lack of satellites searching for exoplanets. This paper details the design of subsystems and payload, as well as the required test tasks in accordance with the mission profile at a conceptional level. The costs for standard spacecraft testing and integration tasks are included, but not those of launch, ground support, operations and engineer working hours.

    Highlights Phase A study for a small satellite mission done within a student project. Development of an university satellite mission for exoplanetary transit observation. Exoplanetary transit observation via Ritchey–Chretien Cassegrain telescope. Cosmic dust instrumentation. Dimensioning of payload and satellite bus systems.
