Launcher needs for environmental space missions are discussed. The use of small satellites put into low orbits using small expendable launchers in environmental space missions is considered. These small satellites are considered to be between 200 and 1000 kg in mass and their cost is typically expected to be around ten million dollars. Various Scout launchers designed to launch satellite in equatorial orbits for payload masses of 200 kg to 800 kg are presented. These same launchers are designed to place satellites from 150 kg to 600 kg in polar orbit.
