Title: Incorporating Multidisciplinary Design Optimization into Spacecraft Systems Engineering
Abstract: Systems Engineering (SE) and Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) are usually regarded as two different aspects of spacecraft design. This paper investigates the problem of merging these two fields for the improvement of the spacecraft system design. The SE and MDO processes are described with emphases on their principles, models and tools, followed by a detailed analysis of their relationships and the requirements for merging the two. Promising technologies, such as tradespace exploration and Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE), are identified as possible connections between SE and MDO. Based on the analysis performed in the paper, a detailed scheme is presented that utilizes these techniques for the incorporation of MDO into spacecraft SE.
