                         Research INPE began a program of medium-sized satellites based on 
                         Multi-Mission Platform. The MMP is comprised of the Service 
                         Modules. Among other subsystems, these modules contain: batteries, 
                         solar panels with rotating devices for alignment with the Sun, 
                         propellant tank, thrusters, onboard computers, sensors and 
                         actuators for attitude control, etc. In this paper we present an 
                         outline of the Amazonia-1 Satellite, the first in the series that 
                         will employ the MMP, with special emphasis on welding and 
                         qualification testing of the propulsion subsystem, consisting of 
                         components and pipes made from commercially pure titanium (Grade 
                         2) and Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy (Grade 5). Programs and results 
                         are presented for different welds together with different wall 
                         thicknesses, using orbital welding equipment with inert gas 
                         (GTAW). Details of procedures adopted by the Integration and Tests 
                         Laboratory - LIT where the activities were performed are shown
