For the development of space products the following system engineering know-how is a key factor for successful project implementation:
Requirements engineering
- Specification writing, interpretation and understanding
- Compliance and verification tracking
- Definition of specifications for subcontractors
- Subcontractor Management on technical level
Fracture Control engineering
- Fracture Control Plans
- Potential Fracture Crtitical Items (PFCIL)
- Selection of most suitable verification methods
- Relevant fatigue and crack growth analyses (ESAFATIG, ESACRACK, NASGRO)
Reliability engineering
- Development of methods for Reliability Assessments and Analyses
- Structural Reliability Analyses
Interface to Launch Service Operators
- Modeling, customer support and interpretation of Coupled Loads Analyses (CLA)
- Notching approval for vibration loads
- Assurance of Launcher Compatibility
Mission analysis and orbit simulation (STK, GMAT)
- Orbit design and analysis, formation configuration, constellations and other space missions
- Trajectory analysis and optimization, chemical and electric propulsion
- Launch window analysis
- Coverage analysis for Earth observation satellites and payloads
- Visibility analysis for all types of satellites and ground stations nets
- Communications link performance analysis, including optical links and inter-satellite links
- On-board instrument orientation analysis
