3 | 20 | PRIETO, Matías | Télécom Bretagne has procured a Pumpkin Cubesat kit and other set of tools for education purposes. For more information, please visit [[Equipment inventory]]. |
4 | 1 | PRIETO, Matías | |
5 | 22 | PRIETO, Matías | In order to take full advantage of this kit and begin with the development of different sub-systems, it was proposed a Cubesat-based project as part of the Master SCS program. The assigned project is *_"Experimentation and development of a beacon transmitter for a Cubesat platform"_*. |
6 | 1 | PRIETO, Matías | |
7 | 22 | PRIETO, Matías | For the sake of simplicity, we will refer to our Cubesat project, developed during 2014/2015, at the Télécom Bretagne laboratory at the SUPAERO campus, as SCS-Cubesat project. |
8 | 22 | PRIETO, Matías | |
9 | 21 | PRIETO, Matías | As it may be guessed, the project main objective is to develop a prototype spacecraft with a beacon transmitter, which will be based on a low cost, low power 434 MHz transmitter. |
10 | 17 | PRIETO, Matías | |
11 | 23 | PRIETO, Matías | The SCS-Cubesat project is a very tiny project compared to those big missions from huge space agencies, like NASA or ESA. |
12 | 1 | PRIETO, Matías | |
13 | 22 | PRIETO, Matías | 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 basic project planning and control. |
14 | 1 | PRIETO, Matías | |
15 | 23 | PRIETO, Matías | Although any system engineering task would be almost useless in our SCS-Cubesat project, as it was previously explained, it would be interesting, from an academic point of view, to have an approach to this field since we are working with a small spacecraft subsystem. |

17 | 3 | PRIETO, Matías | h2. Introduction to Systems Engineering |
18 | 3 | PRIETO, Matías | |
19 | 1 | PRIETO, Matías | 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. |
20 | 1 | PRIETO, Matías | |
21 | 1 | PRIETO, Matías | Thus, it is about tradeoffs, compromises and generalists rather than specialists in a complex system development process. |
22 | 1 | PRIETO, Matías | |
23 | 23 | PRIETO, Matías | Systems engineering processes are system design, product realisation and technical management |
