ÖVE/ÖNORM EN 16603-10

This standard specifies the system engineering implementation requirements for space systems and space products development. Specific objectives of this standard are: • to implement the system engineering requirements to establish a firm technical basis and to minimize technical risk and cost for space systems and space products development; • to specify the essential system engineering tasks, their objectives and outputs; • to implement integration and control of engineering disciplines and lower level system engineering work; • to implement the “customer-system-supplier model” through the development of systems and products for space applications. Depending of the product category, the application of this standard needs to be checked and if needed tailored. The pre-tailoring table in clause 7 contains the applicability of the requirements of this document and its annexes according to product type. Specific requirements related to system engineering, like technical specification, verification, and testing are specified in dedicated documents and standards within the set of ECSS system engineering standards ECSS-E-ST-10-XX. Discipline or element specific engineering implementation requirements are covered in dedicated ECSS standards. These standards are based on the same principles, process and documentation model. The applicability of each these standards can therefore not be considered in isolation from the others.
