This paper deals with the preliminary design of a multi-mission microsatellite for scientific research and educational purposes. The payload is a UV imaging spectrometer for the measurement of the atmospheric ozone concentration. The payload design is performed in order to realize the best compromise between instrument performance and size and mass constraints of the microsatellite. The bus design is aimed at developing a configuration which allows the multi-mission use of the microsatellite. To this end, a solution is proposed for the electric power subsystem which allows the required power to be obtained on a large range of orbits and altitudes. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract
This paper deals with the preliminary design of a multi-mission microsatellite for scientific research and educational purposes. The payload is a UV imaging spectrometer for the measurement of the atmospheric ozone concentration. The payload design is performed in order to realize the best compromise between instrument performance and size and mass constraints of the microsatellite. The bus design is aimed at developing a configuration which allows the multi-mission use of the microsatellite. To this end, a solution is proposed for the electric power subsystem which allows the required power to be obtained on a large range of orbits and altitudes. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
