Defining The System Defining The System: Computer System State Diagram
The document discusses defining a spacecraft computer system. It outlines identifying operational modes and allocating top-level requirements. It also defines subsystem interfaces and specifies a baseline computer system configuration by defining operational modes and states, partitioning computational requirements, analyzing data flow, evaluating architectures, and selecting a basic architecture. It questions whether a new computing system is needed or an old certified system can be used.

Defining the System
Defining the System
Identify the spacecraft bus and payload operational modes
Allocate top-level requirements for the computer system Define sub-system interfaces Specify baseline computer system Define computer system!s operational modes and states Functionally partition and allocate computational requirements to spacecraft sub-systems, hardware, or software ground station
Analyze data flow
Evaluate candidate architectures Select basic architecture Develop baseline system configuration
Do we need a new computing system, or can we use an old
system that is already certified? Wertz and Larson

Computer System State Diagram
Requirements Definition
What must the system do?
Why must it be done? How do we achieve the design goal? What are the alternatives? What sub-systems perform specified functions? Are all functions technically feasible? How can the system be tested to show that it satisfies requirements?
Wertz and Larson
System states must be consistent with allocated requirements and with
spacecraft!s and ground station!s concepts of operation (conops)
