Paper presents short description of satellite struc- ture and characterization of its subsystems. Review of tech- nologies used in small satellite missions is presented, consid- ering possible solutions in low cost projects. Three common solutions: the use of commercial off the shelf (COTS) compo- nents, miniaturization, remote testing and integration of sub- systems can be used to significantly reduce cost of the satellite.
