Miniaturized satellites are paving the way to a completely new era of faster and less expensive access to space by using smaller payloads. Pico- and nanosatellite activity has expanded greatly in the last decade, due in large part to activity within the university satellite community. Emergence of Pico- and Nanosatellites for Atmospheric Research and Technology Testing describes the current state of this exciting technology and includes a variety of detailed examples that will help the reader identify appropriate analytical models, simulations, and technologies in the development of miniaturized satellite missions. TOPICS DISCUSSED University satellite design programs “CubeSat” missions Attitude determination and control systems Electrical power systems Command and data handling and telecommunication systems SPECIAL FEATURES Describes the benefits of using pico- and nanosatellites, whose low cost allows a wide variety of missions by an expanded set of potential customers Explores emulation of complex systems in a space environment using an adaptive, reusable spacecraft concept Bridges the gap between theoretical spacecraft systems engineering and practical mechanics Includes a case study, the Illinois Observing Nanosatellite
