1.0 Change History

Date / Requirement No. / Description of Change
1/31/07 / N/A / Initial Release – Rev 1.0

2.0Scope

The purpose of this document is to capture the technical requirements of this project for the mission and subsystems. It reflects the current design and should be used by the team as the source of model input, mass, power values, etc. It will be uploaded to the project website. The initial release is Rev 1.0 and subsequent revisions, prior to a major milestone, will be indicated by an increase in the value to the right of the decimal (i.e. Rev 1.1). After milestones, the value to the left of the decimal will be increased.

It is the responsibility of each subsystem to formulate the necessary requirements for that section for the various launch configurations. The PM, APM, and GCs will then review and agree upon this document before the initial release. Notice that to the right of each requirement, a verification method should be indicated. For the definition of each method and how they will apply to this project please see Appendix A.

Updates to the document will be made by the PM or APM. GCs should e-mail the PM and APM with any requirement changes.

A.Appendix

1.1 Verification Method Definition

1.1.1 Analysis1

The use of mathematical modeling and analytical techniques to predict the compliance of a design to its requirements based on calculated data or data derived from lower level component or subsystem testing. It is generally used when a physical prototype or product is not available or not cost effective. Analysis includes the use of both modeling and simulation.

1.1.2 Inspection1

The visual examination of the system, component, or subsystem. It is generally used to verify physical design features or specific manufacturer identification.

1.1.3 Demonstration1

The use of system, subsystem, or component operation to show that a requirement can be achieved by the system. It is generally used for a basic confirmation of performance capability and is differentiated from testing by the lack of detailed data gathering.

1.1.4 Test1

The use of system, subsystem, or component operation to obtain detailed data to verify performance or to provide sufficient information to verify performance through further analysis. Testing is the detailed quantifying method of verification…it is ultimately required in order to verify system design.

1.2 Verification Method Definitions for the Purposes of AAE-450

1.2.1 Analysis

Each group must come up with a computer model to show that the requirement can be met. If a model is not applicable, then historical data or research will serve as the analysis.

1.2.2 Inspection

For each production unit that requires inspection, a man hour count needs to be provided in order to estimate cost (TBR).

1.2.3 Demonstration

At this stage in design, it is not possible to have a reasonably detailed estimation for demonstration or the time associated with it.

1.2.4 Test

Any requirement that will be verified by test, prior to production, will have a test plan associated with it. It is the responsibility of the subsystem engineers to provide a test plan to the PM.
