Model-Based Approach for Conceptual Mission Design for NTP Enabled Robotic Missions

Abstract

View Video Presentation: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2021-3598.vid A model-based approach can enhance the conceptual mission design process for NTP enabled robotic missions. This paper presents the early steps taken on the implementation of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) application with final goal to have rapid integrated system analysis capability. The paper describes the NTP mission model and process of deriving mission requirement diagrams. The modeling approach has been implemented on a conceptual mission design process of an NTP powered robotic mission to Neptune.
