A set of missions of small satellites in inclined eccentric orbits is analyzed. Small launchers, which require small satellites, can reduce costs and increase flight opportunities. The launch strategy with selected launchers (Scout, Delta 2, Pegasus), the direct orbit achievement and the dog-leg maneuver use, and the ground-track keeping exclusively based on in-plane maneuvers are described in detail. The analysis shows the in orbit mass and the delta-velocity required to fulfill the mission objectives.
