In the late 1980's a new paradigm, the utilization of modern small satellites, arose and opened up a new class of space applications. Since 1991, The Aerospace Corporation has been studying small satellites. Two products of this on-going study are the Small Satellite Cost Model (SSCM) and the Small Satellite Design Model (SSDM). In an effort to better meet design-to-cost goals for conceptual design, The Aerospace Corporation has recently integrated the SSCM and SSDM into a single design-to-cost tool for use by a systems engineer either working alone or in cooperation with a design team. Several versions of the integrated tool are being developed with varying levels of fidelity.
