Abstract
In the recent years the space field has been increasingly open to investment from private companies, so getting a competitive edge in relation to other competitors is fundamental. For this thesis, a Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) mission is selected, considering its numerous advantages both in payload and in platform. For optical payloads the benefits are increased resolution, reduced aperture sizes and improved radiometric performance, while for radar/communication payloads are improved link budget, reduced antenna sizes and reduced transmission power and latency. VLEO is also convenient for the smaller radiation flux compared to higher orbits, for the reduced launch cost per unit mass and for being more environmentally sustainable, since increased drag is useful for the removal of orbiting debris.
The increment of the above-mentioned disturbance, though, entails an increase effort to keep the satellite orbiting as intended
