Keywords: metal matrix composites, satellite, multidisciplinary optimization, payload mass, vibration

The weight of objects which are placed into "LEO" should be closely managed. Historically, a launch vehicles lift capability is fixed, so designers have paid close attention to the weight of subsystems, Also vibration transmission was considered in this study."GA" was used in this multidisciplinary design optimization.
