h1. Objectives and project planning

For the sake of simplicity, we will refert to our Cubesat project, developed at the end of 2014, at the Télécom Bretagne laboratory at the SUPAERO campus, as SCS-Cubesat project.



As it was introduced, the...

The Our SCS-Cubesat project is a very tiny project compared to those big missions from huge Space Agencies, like NASA or ESA.

From a practical and factual point of view, tanking into account the project objectives, there is no needs of having a system engineering structure. However, it is still needed some minimal project planning and control.

In spite of any system engineering task would be almost useless in our SCS-Cubesat project, it would be interesting to...

h2. Introduction to Systems Engineering

Systems engineering is the science of developing a system capable of meeting requirements within often opposed constraints. The main task is to find a safe and balanced design in the face of opposing interests and multiple conflicting requirements. In other words, system engineering is about balancing organizational and technical interactions in complex systems.

Thus, it is about tradeoffs, compromises and generalists rather than specialists in a complex system development process.
