Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a modern method for system conceptual design in space industry. Although nu-merous facilities exist within the space sector (e.g. CDF at ESTEC), the method is not yet fully established for Ground Segment and Operation (GS&OPS) conceptual design studies. While CE for the space segment in the major-ity of the use cases can be focused on a standardised set of expert disciplines, the engineering design problem for GS&OPS is usually much more diverse. It includes varying engineering aspects and disciplines, changing based on the mission type and involving often non-space aspects but also new technologies services and especially manpower, which isn’t easy to engineer. On the other hand, new use cases and systems call for an intensive consideration of GS&OPS in early design phases, which can even have a driving influence on the design process or the system design as such. This paper describes the development of an MBSE environment to support the early phase (0/A) design of the GS&OPS of future space missions. As concurrent engineering is an essential part of the pre-design phase and also part of the MBSE approach, the outcome of this activity contributes to the digitalisation of the whole process cycle (digital continuity) in the GS&OPS domain. Starting with an analysis and review of the early phase GS&OPS domain processes and data exchanges, a definition of use cases for the application of Concurrent Engineering GS&OPS approach follows. For support, Interviews with experts from various GS&OPS domains were conducted to discuss and agree on the selection of use cases. The results include the initial identifications and documentation of the meta model necessary to model the relevant artefacts involved in the use cases. The paper concludes with an outlook describing the further procedure to realise Concurrent Engineering tailored for GS&OPS preliminary design, addressing in particular the perspective of MBSE/ digitalisation of the conceptual design process in view of GS&OPS
