One of the basic problems in making nano-satellites is the scarcity of power due to the available area. By their nature, nano-satellites cannot carry large areas of solar panels. However, their radio transmitters require just as much power as those of small satellites such as microsatellites if they are to be received by a ground station of the same size. Nano-satellites must have extremely efficient power systems while using low power consumption processors and payloads. Also, the batteries must have a high energy density if they are to fit inside the nano-satellite tight volume available.
