This book was released on 2018 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Tutorial Text provides an introduction to systems engineering principles, tools, and practices as applied to astronomical systems. Written for engineers, scientists, and managers, it is intended to aid in the transition from a discipline specialist to a systems engineer. Topics include interface control, the lifecycle model, the role of trade studies, and the flow and allocation of requirements. Particular attention is paid to deriving the law of error propagation because it is the basis for formal performance budgeting and estimating the probability of success. Several examples supplement this derivation. The book concludes with a case study for a space science mission.

This book was released on 2017-08-19 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of a series of systems engineering case studies prepared by the Air Force Center for Systems Engineering. This case study analyzes the Hubble Space Telescope program. The incredible story of the HST program from the early dreams and visions of a space-based telescope in 1946, through extensive, more formal program formulation and developments in the 1970s, tumultuous re-direction in the 1980s (especially due to the impact of the 1986 Challenger disaster), initial launch in 1990, and unplanned major on-orbit repairs in 1993 provides the basis for an exciting case study in all aspects of systems engineering. As we will see, this case represents a program dramatically impacted by a variety of scientific, technical, economic, political, and program management events and factors, many of them unpredictable. The study provides a wealth of technical information about the project and its complex history. The Department of Defense is exponentially increasing the acquisition of joint complex systems that deliver needed capabilities demanded by our warfighter. Systems engineering is the technical and technical management process that focuses explicitly on delivering and sustaining robust, high-quality, affordable solutions. The Air Force leadership has collectively stated the need to mature a sound systems engineering process throughout the Air Force. Gaining an understanding of the past and distilling learning principles that are then shared with others through our formal education and practitioner support are critical to achieving continuous improvement.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Using a solar sail, the Solar Polar Imager mission would observe the Sun from a polar orbit to observe magnetic fields and convective flows in the polar regions as well as coronal mass ejections and the Sun's outer atmosphere in order to better understand the solar dynamo and solar activity. Titan Explorer mission includes an orbiter with remote sensing instruments and an airship platform to investigate the atmosphere, clouds, haze, and surface of Saturn's moon Titan. Neptune Orbiter with Probes mission would use aerocapture to explore Neptune's rings and magnetosphere, which serve as an analog for the primordial solar nebula and accretion disks around other stars, and its satellite Triton, which resembles small objects at the outer boundary of our solar system today. Neptune Orbiter, Probe, and Lander mission would use nuclear electric propulsion to investigate Neptune and orbit its satellite, Triton. Interstellar Probe would leave the heliosphere to explore interstellar space, learning about its composition and dynamics and its interaction with our solar system. Observing distant stars with ultra-high resolution, the Stellar Imager mission could reveal their magnetic activity and internal structure, helping us understand solar activity and magnetohydrodynamics throughout the Universe. By bringing our understanding of other galaxies nearly up to our understanding of our own, the Modern Universe Space Telescope could illuminate how the chemical elements are created and dispersed, how normal galaxies form and evolve, and how stars and planetary systems form. Generation-X mission could detect the first black holes formed when the Universe was only a few hundred million years old. Advanced Compton Telescope is a wide-field gamma-ray spectrometer designed to uncover how supernovae and other stellar explosions create the chemical elements through an all-sky survey of nuclear line emissions. Far-Infrared/Submillimeter Interferometer in Space would use a two-element array to study the formation of the earliest-born stars and galaxies in the Universe and to probe the structure of the disks of gas and dust collapsing today to form a new generation of stars and planets. Single Aperture Far Infrared Observatory would be a single-spacecraft large space telescope for observing the early chemical history of the Universe and the structure of young planetary systems, tracking the chemistry needed for life from interstellar clouds to young solar systems. A final chapter describes an analysis of directions for future technology development inspired by this portfolio of mission concepts."--Publisher description.
