Papers are presented on military, commercial, and C3 applications of small satellites. The performance of various systems hardware in space including Pegasus and the Offeq-2 is also considered. Military applications include such topics as future possibilities for microspace technology, autonomous surveillance satellites, modular small satellite design for responsive tactical applications, and design concepts for space-borne multimission sensors for tactical military needs. Discussion of commercial and civil applications of small satellites includes a survey of the geosynchronous launch profile of Pegasus, the commercial applications of Eyesat, the ParaShield entry vehicle concept, and a high-latitude communications satellite. A discussion of C-3 applications considers laser payloads on small satellites and the Bremsat and Ministar satellites and their missions.
