DEPLOY Work Package 3 Software Requirements Document for a Distributed System for Attitude and Orbit Control for a Single Spacecraft (DEP-RP-SSF-R-006, Issue 1.3)

Abstract

This Software Requirements Document (SRD) expresses the functional requirements of the Software (SW) of the DEPLOY Work Package 3 (WP3) Distributed System for Attitude and Orbit Control for a Single Spacecraft (DSAOCSS). This system is in many ways similar to the centralized Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS) considered by http://deploy-eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/266/. However, there are differences up to the extent that the systems should not be assumed to have the same baseline for requirements. The actual Attitude and Orbit Control (AOC) in DSAOCSS is centralized in conventional control-theoretical sense, so the term “distributed AOCS” is too ambiguous to be used in this context.
