Abstract. Prerequisites and peculiarities of small spacecraft (SSC) creation based on unified space platforms (USP) are considered. An analysis of new progressive technical solutions is performed; implementation of the solutions is anticipated to provide a high level of perfection for SSC, developed on the base of the USP concept. Implemented technical solutions aimed at improving the spacecraft reliability, are also analyzed. Several problematic issues of the technical implementation of the USP are discussed. One of the problems relates to the USP adaptability to construction of a "constellation" of spacecrafts with a flexible architecture for solving a wide range of problems. It is concluded that construction of unified space platforms as the base for development of space vehicles for various special purposes, is one of the most important trends in space instrumentation.
Keywords: small spacecraft, payload, unified space platform, modularity, miniaturization, weight and size reduction
