This report summarizes the future trend in the weight of scientific satellites in Japan which will be launched or programmed in the late twentieth century. Among the several missions contained in this report, particular interest is directed to the interplanetary probes and astronomical observatory satellites. In the estimation of spacecraft weight, each component is systematically estimated based on the satellites which have already been launched or designed. Major result is that 3 ton LEO payload capabidity is needed in future transporter in order to accomplish the missions mentioned here.
