Equipment models and model strategies for Space Missions
Equipment models and model strategies for Space Missions
Sept 10th 11 AM CET
Join our upcoming webinar on equipment models and model strategies for space missions.
An ALTER Technology engineering session on how model philosophy shapes space mission development. Our Product Assurance and EEE parts engineers walk through the purpose of models, project phases, and the three main model philosophies, Prototype, Protoflight and Hybrid, including their trade-offs in cost, risk and schedule, model classification and the role of component quality (COTS, EM and space-grade) across each model. A practical, standards-based session (ECSS-E-HB-10-02A and related) for engineers and procurement teams involved in space component selection.
Register now to gain a practical understanding of how model strategies support technical decision-making, component selection and project planning throughout a space mission.
Agenda
- Purpose of the models: Why models are needed in space projects and how their selection affects cost, risk and schedule.
- Introduction to project phases: A brief overview of the main phases of a space project and the reviews conducted to close each one.
- Model philosophy: An introduction to the three most common model philosophies used in space projects:
- Prototype
- Protoflight
- Hybrid
The session will compare their main advantages, limitations and impact on project development.
- Model classification: A practical classification of models according to their functionality, intended use and level of representativeness.
- Requirements and uses: Key considerations related to project requirements, verification objectives and applicable engineering rules.
- Components for models: The role of COTS, engineering-model and space-grade components in the development of different models, considering quality level, purpose, cost and risk.
- Standards and conclusions: A practical overview based on ECSS-E-HB-10-02A and related standards, followed by the main conclusions and recommendations.
