...
rst, several existing and future design tools - both commercially available and company proprietary are discussed and evaluated. Second, a spreadsheet-based design tool which is generally applicable to any earth-orbiting satellite is developed.

The design technique and spreadsheet implementation is presented along with the underlying "first principles" theory and equations.
