- Abstract
After several successfully launched Earth satellites, the German amateur radio satellite organization (AMSAT-DL) is going to build a Phase 5 satellite leaving the Earth orbit. The most suitable launch date for the planned P5-A satellite that shall orbit Mars will due to energetic constraints probably be in 2018. Since there is a time gap in between AMSAT-DL together with the DLR-Institute of Space Systems in Bremen, Germany performed two studies on system level for a first P5 satellite towards Moon and a following one towards Mars. By using the DLR’s Concurrent Engineering Facility (CEF) two consistent satellite concepts were designed including mission analysis, configuration, subsystem dimensioning, payload selection, budgeting and cost. The present paper gives an insight in the accomplished design process and the results of the performed study.
