The goal of this research is to examine and develop control systems for the next generation of small satellites which have been termed "microsatellites" or "microspacecraft". This term is usually reserved for satellites with a mass of less than 100 kg. Even smaller are nanosatellites with a mass of less than 10 kg. The primary motivation for these classes of vehicles is the ability to accomplish what larger, more expensive spacecraft can with a significantly less expensive approach.

这项研究的目标是检查和开发下一代小型卫星（称为“微型卫星”或“微型航天器”）的控制系统。 该术语通常是为质量小于 100 公斤的卫星保留的。 更小的还有质量不到10公斤的纳米卫星。 此类飞行器的主要动机是能够以成本低得多的方式完成更大、更昂贵的航天器所能完成的任务。
