The objective of this report is to assess and provide an overview of the state of the art in small
spacecraft technologies for mission designers, project managers, technologists, and students,
connecting current small spacecraft missions to available technologies. The report focuses on
the spacecraft system in its entirety, provides current best practices for integration, and
then presents the state of the art for each specific spacecraft subsystem. Certain chapters have
a particular emphasis on CubeSat platforms, as nanosatellite applications have expanded due to
their high market growth in recent years. (from the report’s Introduction)
