ABSTRACT
Optimization of the satellite architecture is an interesting option in case of the development of a constellation, because the high number of satellites allows a return on investment for this effort.
As an example, we propose to study a simple micro-satellite of the Myriade type and to follow two consecutive steps: first, we will build a simplified model of the satellite internal architecture (platform only, not payload, in order to reuse our study results on various missions), taking into account all its main sub-systems:
– Attitude and Orbit Control – Propulsion – Thermal regulation – Power supply – On-board processing – Telecommunications etc . . .
