AbstractMany countries with incipient space activities, such as the case of the authors', dedicate most of their resources to the building of remote sensing applications satellites. In this article we demonstrate that pure scientific research, such as astronomical and solar observing missions, can be carried out in conjunction with the remote sensing missions, provided some versatility in the spacecraft design.
