- Abstract
Indian Space Research Organisation has produced many operational satellites in both remote sensing and communication areas. During the development of the satellites, many new technologies have been adapted from time to time resulting in higher performance and expansion of capabilities. With the vast experience gained during the last few decades and with the advances in technology, ISRO has initiated development of standard satellite buses for different levels of satellite mass. As part of this effort, using the advances in the miniaturized electronic components, a micro satellite bus development has been initiated which caters for payloads of less than 35 kg mass with a total satellite mass of 100 kg. In order to achieve the micro satellite bus with all the features of operational class satellites lot of miniaturization efforts have gone in to standard systems so as to achieve spacecraft main bus of around 65 kg. The first satellite in the micro satellite series has been successfully developed and it carries two remote sensing payloads. The second satellite with scientific goals is identified which is under fabrication. The current paper describes the achievements in miniaturization of the systems, the features of the micro satellite bus and adaptability for payloads of various applications.
