Abstract

Understanding the business aspect of a project or mission is of key importance in spacecraft systems engineering, including the mission cost, high level functions and objectives, workforce, hardware, and production of spacecraft. This is especially true for CubeSat missions, which typically deal with low costs, limited resources, low mass, low volume, and low power. Introducing enterprise modeling concepts to CubeSat missions allows for incorporation of analysis of cost, business processes, and requirements for the mission´s spacecraft and problem domain. The following describes an application of enterprise modeling to CubeSats.
