Klassifikationen
Minisatellit
The term "minisatellite" is sometimes applied to an artificial satellite with a mass between 500–1000 kg (1100–2200 lb), though it is not commonly applied. Minisatellites are usually simpler but use the same technologies as larger satellites.
Mikrosatellit
Der Begriff 'Mikrosatellit wird üblicherweise für Satelliten mit einer Masse von unter 100 kg verwendet.
is usually applied to the name of an artificial satellite with a mass below 100 kg (220 lb). However, this is not an official convention and sometimes microsats can refer to satellites larger than that. Sometimes designs or proposed designs of these types have microsatellites working together or in a formation. The term small satellite is also used.
Nanosatellit
The term "nanosatellite" or "nanosat" is usually applied to the name of an artificial satellite with a mass below 10 kg (22 lb). Again designs and proposed designs of these types usually have multiple nanosatellites working together or in formation (sometimes the term "swarm" is applied). Some designs require a larger "mother" satellite for communication with ground controllers or for launching and docking with nanosatellites. [edit]
Picosatellit
Picosatellite or "picosat" is usually applied to the name of an artificial satellite with a mass below 1 kg (2.2 lb). Again designs and proposed designs of these types usually have multiple picosatellites working together or in formation (sometimes the term "swarm" is applied) Some designs require a larger "mother" satellite for communication with ground controllers or for launching and docking with picosatellites. The CubeSat design is an example of a picosatellite.
