Abstract :
The Netherlands wants to become a strong knowledge intensive economy. For that reason the government initiated "Besluit subsidies investeringen kennisinfrastructuur" (BSIK) which is aiming at investments to improve and strengthen the knowledge infrastructure of the Netherlands in general. Within the context of BSIK a program called "MicroNed" has been proposed in the knowledge area microsystems- and nanotechnology. The research described in this paper is concerned with a micro systems technology (MST) based micro satellite called "MISAT" which forms part of the MicroNed program. The MISAT proposal consists of a bus, payload, architecture and formation flying work package.
