15 Homework #7 - (Answer) Science - Infrared Sensor75 W30 lbm - X-ray Sensor100 W40 lbm Total Science Mass70 lbm If only one sensor is on at a time is the requirement of 20 hours met? Only have one sensor on at a time, therefore the Science power requirement is 100 W, not 175 W.

16 Power Need at least 1,000 W to stay alive plus 100 W for science therefore you need to have at least 1,200 W solar array and battery Total weight = 60 lbm for solar array = 120 lbm for battery Total= 180 lbm You will find out the Fuel cell is way too heavy Homework #7 - (Answer)

17 In-Class Exercise: (Answer) Propulsion Need at least 80 lb of thrust therefore you need the following Two 25 lb thrusters= 20 W 25 lbm Three 10 lb thrusters= 20 W 15 lbm Total Power= (40+60 W) = 100 W Total Mass= ( ) =95 lbm

18 In-Class Exercise: (Answer) Total Mass Science= 70 lbm Power= 180 lbm Propulsion= 95 lbm Total = 345 lbm (minus propellant)

19 In-Class Exercise: (Answer) Propellant Mass 2x25 lb = 50 per/100 lbm = 100 lb 3x10 lb = 20 per/100 lbm = 60 lb Total= 160 lb per 100 lbm 345 lbm / 100 lbm * 160 lbm = 552 lbm

20 In-Class Exercise: (Answer) Total Mass Science= 70 lbm Power= 180 lbm Propulsion= 95 lbm Total = 345 lbm (minus propellant) Propellant= 552 lbm Total mass= 897 lbm

22 Introduction to Systems Engineering Rachel Landess Keith Morris Jessica Brown October 23, 2012

23 What is Systems Engineering Is a systematic, interdisciplinary approach that transforms customer needs into a total system solution A framework of interrelated activities that spans Design, Management, and Realization of systems Balances customer needs with system capabilities Led and organized by Systems Engineers –But all functions play a role It is the technical “glue” which makes separate design disciplines and subsystems function together to provide an integrated system

24 Be a “Systems Thinker” The Design Engineer –The specialist's viewpoint –Views the system from the inside – Concerned with other system elements only as they affect their own design task –Not necessarily how their system may affect others Systems thinkers –Views the system from the outside. – Concerned with the effect of all system elements as they affect overall system design / performance / cost / schedule –Concerned no matter where the hole in the boat is

25 Systems Engineering must focus on the entire problem: optimize the whole, not the parts!

26 The Art & Science of Systems Engineering Art of Systems Engineering –Technical Leadership –Understanding how all the individual pieces go together to make the big picture Science of Systems Engineering –Systems Management –Managing all the details for every piece of the system and keeping them in synch Cost, Schedule, Performance, & Risk To be Successful, we must balance both technical leadership and systems management into complete systems engineering

27 Systems Engineering “V” Model

28 Architecture System Architecture is the overall structure of the program, internal interfaces, and how it interacts with external interfaces –System Level – Constellation of Satellites, Ground stations, etc. –Spacecraft Level – Subsystems and interfaces that make up spacecraft –Subsystem – Components and technologies that make up subsystem –Architect’s role is to ensure customer requirements and needs are properly addressed in the system Identifies utility and flexibility of the system Optimizing architecture can make spacecraft trades easier

29 Spacecraft Architecture (image credit: NASA/GSFC)

30 Concept of Operations Concept of Operations (CONOPS) –How the system will be used –Links technical requirements with user’s needs Requirements do not fully represent customer’s wishes… –Operational scenarios, timelines, block diagrams, orbital maneuvering among the products –Example: Assignment Requirements do not specify how often payloads need to operate, could reduce overall power required

31 Con Ops Example – ALL-STAR

32 Requirements Management A requirement is a “single, verifiable shall statement” Requirements dictate the form, fit and function the system design shall meet Requirements address both characteristics as well as capabilities –Characteristics=what the system shall be –Capabilities=what the system shall do Higher level requirements are decomposed to lower level requirements

33 Why are requirements important Clearly communicating requirements is essential How the customer explained it How the project manager understood it How the engineers designed it How materials ordered it How it was built How the customer really wanted it

34 Design Integration Balance the needs of the customer with the capabilities of the spacecraft Balance the needs of the individual subsystems –Allocate mass, volume, power constraints –Relate it to their assignment Ensuring subsystems are talking with one another –Making sure they are compatible Identifying subsystem interfaces Its kind of like Herding Cats

35 Risk Management Risk management is done throughout the entire program life cycle Risk is defined in two dimensions –Probability of occurrence –Consequence if the risk occurs Identify risks while there is still time to react Put in place mitigation strategy to minimize or eliminate risks Sources of risks include: –Poorly defined technical tasks or cost estimations –Poorly defined requirements and interfaces –Low technological maturity (technical risks) –Unrealistic project planning or inadequate resources –Inadequate workforce skill level Consequence Probability of Occurrence Risk Matrix

36 Hardware Integration Assembly of spacecraft hardware Spitzer Space Telescope from design to integration

37 Verification and Validation Verification –“Did we build the system right” Validation –“Did we build the right system” System Testing –Functional tests –Vibe tests (drop tests) –Shock tests (swing tests) –Thermal Vacuum tests –Acoustic tests ALL-STAR and team at vibe test at Lockheed Martin

38 Mission Operations Starts when spacecraft development is initiated and continues through final disposal of space asset Provide mission requirements support for development of operational systems –Used to plan and control launch vehicle and spacecraft operations Developing mission profiles, operational procedures and related operational documentation Balance and allocate operational requirements with operational performance Determine operations integration tasks –Defining capabilities and constraints associated with launch vehicles, spacecraft and mission control and ground systems

39 Summary Systems Engineering is an integrated composite of people, products, and processes –Forms a structured development process –Spans design, production, and operation of systems Balances the needs of the customer with the capabilities of the system Uses technical leadership and systems management –Integrates all disciplines and specialty groups into team –Manages cost, schedule, performance, and risk There is no perfect solution –Systems engineering produces the optimal solution for the entire spacecraft
