AVS Work Breakdown

'''

MAIN SYSTEMS:

communications '''
 *  flow chart of communication paths - Done 

 sensors  ''' SUBSYSTEMS:
 *  example: Astronaut to Astronaut (EVA) 
 *  data being transmitted along each path - Working on now 
 *  distances of paths - Almost Done, still considering possible relay satellite locations 
 *  link budgets - Working on now 
 *  hardware requirements - Working on now 
 *  mass, power, volume, temperature, location 
 *  table of sensors - Done 
 *  proprioceptive 
 *  exteroceptive 
 *  number, power, mass, volume, temperature 
 *  guidance systems - Working on now, can’t make final decisions until architecture is known 
 *  docking systems - Working on now 
 *  redundancy analysis 
 *  space readiness 
 *  definitions of frequency, criticality 

data management - Starting next week '''  thermal/cooling  ''' Cannot be completed until above sections are done
 *  table of data requirements 
 *  memory, processing, power, etc. 
 *  computer systems based on requirements 
 *  components 
 *  interface 
 *  information displayed 
 *  software 
 *  how to filter data 
 *  how to control and actuators 
 *  table of temperatures for subsystems by mission phase 
 *  method of cooling 

networking '''  power distribution   controls  '''
 *  block diagram of network paths 
 *  isolation of subsystems 
 *  hardware for sensors, etc. 
 *  broken down by mission phase 
 *  simulation of power used? 
 *  voltage 
 *  block diagrams of control systems 
 *  RCS 
 *  Simulink simulation 

SIMULATION: coordination of components with mission architecture ''' '''
 *  rendezvous and docking operations 
 *  orbits 
 *  timing 

MISSION SENSORS: anything specific to a mission objective '''  ANALYSIS NEEDED 
 *  example: testing moon rocks 
 *  Trade studies 
 *  Reliability studies for all hardware 
 *  Redundancy 
 *  Factor of Safety 
 *  Margin of Safety
