Emerging challenges in systems engineering and RAMS in upcoming space missions

In recent years we are witnessing a space revolution fueled by technological innovation and a renewed interest in commercial activities around the near and outer space. Together with the more traditional scientific, exploration and defence endeavours; these initiatives are speeding up the growth in the sector to unprecedented levels not seen since the Space Race.

In this context, innovative mission concepts and new technological solutions are being consolidated. New Space, manned missions, on-orbit services or high altitude pseudo-satellites are some of these emerging paradigms that will define the landscape of space missions in the coming years.

Together with the technical innovations, new challenges emerge. In this presentation we will look into how the new mission concepts redefine the disciplines of systems engineering and RAMS (reliability, availability, maintainability and safety), and how these subjects will be key to ensuring safe and sustainable space operations in the near future. Among other topics we will talk about autonomy, on-board vs. ground operations, robotics, advanced electronics, software-defined systems, and other technical solutions that play a prominent role in the mission concept and system design.

This is a webinar organized by AEIS, the Spain chapter of INCOSE. It will be held in English.
