Abstract :
Satellites, like any complex system, require the application of a systematic, rational process for their design. Although the essential elements and overall structure of systematic design processes are common, each application may require some customization to be as effective as possible. The design process presented here combines features of two classic approaches. The resulting process was used to develop a preliminary design of a common bus for small tactical satellite applications
