FireSat Mission
FireSat Example (From Space Mission Analysis and Design (SMAD), Third Edition, by Wiley J. Larson and James R. Wertz (editors).)
- Realistic and sharable
- A mission to detect identify and monitor forest fires from orbit
- Widely regarded as definitive text on space systems for concept/feasibility studies
- Examples are sufficiently detailed to create models
FireSAT Text as System Design Documents and Descriptions
- FireSAT text resembles documented system design (requirements, functions, interfaces, analysis and trades)
- Presentation of information is organized similar to how silos form
- Works fine for a text book
- Naturally illuminates the areas integrated modeling is intended to address
Types of Document-based Information in FireSAT
System Documents | FireSAT Example |
Concept of Operations | Mission Objective, system requirements |
Requirements (SRDs, FRDs etc) | system requirements |
Interfaces (ICDs etc) | Data flow diagram, system requirements |
Functional Designs | Power functional decomposition |
Architecture | Mission Objective |
Analysis-specific engineering reports (trades, reliability etc) | Solar Array selection |
End-to-end Information systems spec | Data flow diagram |
