Questions for class on January 29, 2013

 * What is 'networking'?
 * I think we answered this during our meeting - the wiring and flow of power, data, and communication signals of our space systems
 * What is 'software'?
 * Currently being defined as the software the space systems' computers will be using to operate
 * What is 'simulation'?
 * Is this simulation of the mission architecture? Is this a simulation of subsystem designs?
 * Are control algorithms outside the scope of this project?

Diagram drawn including the details of the following list (to be sent separately by Jesse):

 * Data management (flight computers)
 * Networking
 * Sensors
 * Power distribution
 * will be broken down by phases of mission
 * Guidance system
 * Control systems, including attitude control
 * will have control block diagrams
 * Communications
 * will be mapping communications paths between capsule, habitat, rover, astronauts, satellites, Earth, etc.
 * Robot control systems
 * for now, this refers to the rover
 * Software
 * Data transmission budgets

What we will collaborate with other groups on:

 * Crew Systems (CS)


 * flight computer/interface
 * placement of communications equipment
 * Power, Propulsion, and Thermal (PPT)


 * power available
 * hardware that will be actuated for control
 * cooling systems for computers
 * Loads, Structures, and Mechanisms (LSM)


 * vibration protection for computers and sensors
 * hardware for actuation of propulsion and communication systems
 * Mission Planning (MP)


 * phases of missions

Work to do for class on January 29, 2013:

 * sensors list
 * power estimates
 * mass estimates

Design related notes to keep in mind:

 * build in redundancy
 * isolation of subsystems to protect against failure
 * hardware must be space rated
 * AVSS systems are for crew capsule, habitat, and rover
