| Description: | As the growing complexity of space missions increases, the traditional method to design a space mission can be very time-consuming and confusing. One of the drawbacks of this method was communicating with the team to develop very complex systems and waiting for various components to be physically built to move on to the next step. Moreover, the traditional method requires many documents to be shared among the team. So, to eliminate this hectic procedure, concurrent engineering was introduced where anyone within the organization or from inter-organization can come together and solve the complex mission in less time than the traditional method. ESA developed an Open Concurrent Design Tool (OCDT) that has been installed in their Concurrent Design Facility (CDF), which allows for one space to be shared by the different design teams of a space mission. Indeed, the CDF is a state-of-the-art facility where a team of experts from several disciplines designs the space mission. This report discussed how to use the OCDT tool in the CDF lab. To explain the important use of this tool with an example, a space mission is developed for a primary satellite in this report. |
