The design of the Magellan spacecraft was driven by the need for a low-cost, high-performance vehicle. Some of the Magellan spacecraft components were already in existence or at least designed. Protoflight spacecraft were available from storage at no cost. These include the 3.7 meter diameter, high-gain antenna (HGA), the spacecraft bus, propulsion system components, thermal control louvers, and much of the radio subsystem.
