Spacecraft safety and mission assurance

Design engineers need to study mission reliability for new spaceflight missions, but traditional methods are frequently document-based, while design processes are too fragmented.

This webinar shows how you can guarantee safety and mission assurance with a model-based process. This model-based approach to analyzing a space system’s reliability, safety and mission assurance helps satellite manufacturers understand engineering risks during spacecraft design. For example, this model can reduce the chance of space debris after the satellite launch, often caused by hard-to-detect design failures.

Watch this webinar to learn how the digital risk twin can support objective, model-based safety analyses concurrently with the design process to ensure the appropriate visibility and traceability required by launch certification authorities.

Spacecraft mission assurance process

The spacecraft mission assurance process is critical to the success of a mission. It is during this process that many teams work together to identify effective design improvements, identify and mitigate risk, ensure safety, prevent investments from becoming debris and optimize monitoring for preventative action and fault prevention.

The traditional mission assurance process for spacecraft has been document-based and very disjointed. It’s a manual process that lacks integration, consistency and configuration management. Plus, it has limited the reusability of data. In this webinar, learn how you can guarantee safety and mission assurance of a space system with a model-based process.

Satellite reliability: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center use case

The model-based approach to spacecraft mission assurance creates an automated process that allows developers and engineers to build a satellite failure model and recognize potential issues in their design before the launch.

See how a model-based approach is effective for ensuring satellite reliability with a testimonial from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center on using a digital risk twin to perform safety and mission assurance of a small satellite.

The SmallSat reference model explored in this webinar allows users to jumpstart their mission assurance and failure analyses. See how this type of model-based analysis allows SmallSat/CubeSat mission developers to assess their designs’ robustness and fault tolerance and help avoid space debris.
