ECSS-E-ST-10C, SPACE ENGINEERING: SYSTEMS ENGINEERING GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (06-MAR-2009)

ECSS-E-ST-10C, SPACE ENGINEERING: SYSTEMS ENGINEERING GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (06-MAR-2009)., This standard specifies the system engineering implementation requirements for space systems and space products development. Specific objectives of this standard are: • to implement the system engineering requirements to ensure a firm technical basis and to minimize technical risk and cost for space systems and space products development; • to specify the essential system engineering tasks, their objectives and outputs; • to implement integration and control of engineering disciplines and lower level system engineering work; • to implement the “customer‐system‐supplier model” through the development of systems and products for space applications. This Standard is intended to apply to all space systems and product, at any level of the system decomposition, including hardware, software, procedures, man‐in‐the‐loop, facilities and services. Through the document and its annexes the requirements however apply as they are to complex systems only; for lower level elements tailoring is necessary. Specific requirements related to system engineering, like technical specification, verification, and testing are specified in dedicated documents and standards within the set of ECSS system engineering standards ECSS‐E‐ST‐10‐XX. Discipline or element specific engineering implementation requirements are covered in dedicated ECSS standards. These standards are based on the same principles, process and documentation model. The applicability of each these standards can therefore not be considered in isolation from the others. ECSS‐E‐HB‐10 “System engineering guidelines” contains guidelines related to this standard, including a description of the reference system engineering process for a space system and its products.
