This paper proposes a way of quantitative evaluation for a system with design complexity defined by cyclomatic number, coupling, cohesion, scales of system and subsystems, and the number of interface and communication. Though the design complexity would eventually apply to the calculation of reliableness, it essentially enables a comparison between systems. Here, we adopted the design complexity to Japanese microsatellites, and obtained their characteristics and a guideline to improve them. Furthermore, we found a relation between the design complexity and success level of missions accomplished by the microsatellites, i.e. we should have an option to reduce the design complexity in order to increase the success level of a satellite. Thus, the design complexity affects the reliableness in reliability assessment or resource allocation in a project, so that it would establish an applicable reliability assessment specialized for microsatellite, so-called Hodoyoshi Reliability Assessment.
