In line with Malaysia’s aspiration is to achieve a developed nation status as part of the Vision 2020, one of the nine strategic challenges to be overcome is the establishment of a scientific and progressive society, an innovative and forward looking society. In this conjunction, the Malaysian has placed emphasis on expanding research and development by providing finance for market providing market--driven research, and .provides stimulus for scientists to intensify their efforts in the field of science and technology, in particular space technology. Astronautic Technology(M) Sdn.Bhd(ATSB) which was established in 1997 and The National Space Agency (ANGKASA) which was established in 2001 have taken concerted efforts to that end, and Universiti Sains Malaysia are carrying various research activities related to small satellites, such as nano-sat and inno-sat projects within the program coordinated by the above mentioned institutions. Along this line, recent research and development activities have been focused on the payload design and development. The following activities were recently reported in a recent critical design review. These involve Space Experiments Attitude Determination Systems (SEADS), the design and development of Experimental Pyramidal Sun Sensor (ExPSS) and Experimental Earth Magnetic Field Probe (ExEMFP), and the design, development, calibration and testing of Solar Panel Sun Sensors. Salient technical design features and philosophy of these activities are here reported.
