2. Overview Problem Statement Design Objectives Design Approach
Mission Overview
Subsystem 1 Design
Subsystem 2 Design
… (no need to do all)
System Capabilities
Summary
Perhaps another picture goes here

3. Problem Statement Source of problem (AIAA, USAF, etc)
Notable specifics from “12 products of problem definition”

4. Design Objectives Objective 1 Objective 2
Measure of effectiveness
Objective 2
MOE
Don’t need to list them all,but do list the primary objectives
Could include the Objective Hierarchy on next chart

5. Objective Hierarchy To design the best possible space system
O1. To maximize the performance
O2. To minimize the cost
O1.1 To minimize pointing error
O1.2 To maximize the lifetime
O2.1 To minimize production cost
O2.2 To minimize operations cost
O2.2.1 min personnel cost
O min facilities cost
M1.1 pointing error in radians
M1.2 lifetime in years
M2.1 production cost in $
O# Objectives
M2.2.1 personnel cost in $
M2.2.2 facilities cost in $
M# Measures of Effectiveness

6. Design Approach Linkages between subsystems
A block diagram illustrating the design flow would be useful here
