Abstract :
The Alouette-ISIS series of satellites is described, with attention being paid to the engineering and management constraints that were present during the conceptual stages, and it is shown how each succeeding mission meets more fully the objectives of the program. The lessons learnt during the development of this series are finally applied to the conceptual design of ISIS-C, the last satellite in the program.
