An idea of a very small satellite launcher and a very small satellite is presented. The launcher is a three stage solid rocket based on a Japanese single stage sounding rocket S-520. Its payload capability is estimated to be 17 kg into 200,000 km elliptical orbit. The spin stabilized satellite with Sun pointing capability, though small, has almost all functions necessary to usual satellites. In its design, universality is stressed to meet various kinds of mission interface requirements and it can afford 6 kg to mission instruments.
