Abstract:
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) on Constellation Program
NASA's missions require successful development and deployment of complex system-of-systems. In pushing the envelope in space exploration, NASA's programs drive advances in systems engineering. The Constellation Program has invested heavily in its systems engineering capability to address the complexity of its missions and the space-based and ground-based systems required to achieve mission success. This investment has resulted in a model-based systems engineering capability, based on the NASA Systems Engineering Handbook (NASA/SP-2007-6105), deployed as formal processes, procedures, training and an integrated tool suite accessible to a team of government and contractor engineers distributed across NASA centers and the United States. This presentation will provide an overview of Constellation's model-based systems engineering capability, the challenges encountered in developing the capability, and a look forward at adapting to changes in the agency's priorities.
