The Mass and Power Model for Communications Spacecraft outlined in this technical report permits complete modelling of a spacecraft with only communications subsystem weight and power as input. It is designed for use early in the conceptual stage when very little information about the spacecraft has been determined other than operational requirements. Once the spacecraft has been modelled in mass and power, a cost model such as the SAMSO Unmanned Spacecraft Cost Model can be applied to obtain estimates of development and production costs.
