EDGE™ Phase 0: Planning Mission Statement Project Objective Statement The primary focus of ITT's partnership with RIT is to utilize a senior design group to design, analyze and test a scalable prototype of a thermal heater controller that will be present in future satellite- imaging systems. When compared to the current Heritage for thermal control, this prototype shall demonstrate a higher level of thermal performance, reduce overall weight and reduce the power consumption of the satellite. Project Deliverables The primary business goals are to: Demonstrate an enhancement to ITT's current distributed autonomous thermal controller. Create a more competitive thermal controller that is lightweight, scalable, modular, reliable, cost effective and power efficient. Demonstrate the ability to adjust thermal conditions while in orbit and verify thermal model by system testing prior to launch.

EDGE™ Phase 0: Planning Mission Statement Project Opportunities The primary market for this prototype is the Space Systems Division of ITT. The secondary markets for this prototype may include groups involved in satellite imaging applications, which require thermally stable critical optical subsystems. Assumptions Operating specifications Time constrained to 22 weeks Stakeholders ITT Space Systems Division D3 Engineering RIT's College of Engineering RIT MSD program RIT students and faculty involved in the project Arnel Alverio

EDGE™ Phase 0: Planning Risk Assessment Some possible risks are –All team positions are not filled –Lack in effort by a team member –Lack of involvement from the faculty guide –Lack of involvement from the customer –Change in customer needs –Conflict in system integration between the subsystems –Parts required are unavailable or out of the price range. –Ordered parts are not delivered on time. –The parts order is canceled by the supplier. –Ordered parts do not meet the requirement (defective parts) –Parts are damaged in the assembly or testing stages –Loss of documentation

EDGE™ Phase 0: Planning Team Values and Norms Some key team values are: –Punctual: Each team member will be prompt and arrive at the team meetings on time. –Thorough: Each team member will complete his or her tasks thoroughly and completely, so that the work does not have to be re-done by a peer on the team.. –Accurate: Each team member completes their work accurately and in a way that can be easily checked for accuracy by peers and the faculty guide. All work is fully documented and easy to follow. –Professional and Ethical: Each team member gives credit where credit is due. All work completed includes citations to appropriate literature, or sources of assistance. –Committed: Each team member will contribute an equal share to the success of the project.

EDGE™ Phase 0: Planning Grading and Accessibility Scheme Grade levels: –A: High effort and quality –B: Good effort and quality –C: Satisfactory effort and quality –D: Below average effort and quality
