Abstract
The aim of the ESA study on concepts for demonstration of advanced techniques and technologies on an EO small mission is to assess ideas for EO missions compatible with implementation on a small satellite such as PROBA, and which may benefit from Formation Flying. “Small Mission” here implies small satellite platforms in the 150–200 kg spacecraft mass range. The output of the study is a definition of various small satellite missions and their required developments, including costs. The study has been led by Astrium Ltd, with support from Astrium SAS, Astrium GmbH, ENVEO, GMV and Verhaert Space. Following initial selection in the first part of the study, 3 candidates have been analysed in more detail as discussed below.
