Feasibility study of a multispectral camera with automatic processing onboard a 27U satellite using model based space system engineering

Abstract

The paper discusses an experience in using SysML and the TTool software for the feasibility study of a novel multispectral camera for agricultural monitoring. Innovation lies in both automatic image processing onboard and mission control capabilities designed to comply with a 27U microsatellite. In addition to the mission accomplishment control, this innovative payload is capable of sending processed data directly to farms, critically reducing the delay between image making and its use in the field. This paper shows how MBSE and SysML may comply with phases 0 and A of a space project.

A Methodological Assistant for Use Case Diagrams

“…UCcheck was first interfaced with TTool, the free software from Telecom Paris that we used to draw the use case diagrams in Figure 1 and Figure 2. TTool has further been applied for teaching, enhancing the expression power of SysML (de Saqui-Sannes and Apvrille, 2016), and for tooling the first steps of the life cycle of systems (de Saqui-Sannes et al, 2018) (Mattei et al, 2017) (Daigmorte et al, 2019).…”

An Educational Case Study of Using SysML and TTool for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Design

“…Whereas SysML is not associated with a methodology, TTool is associated with an incremental modeling approach [24]. This method has already been applied to several case studies [15] [25]. The case study presented in this paper, a UAV in charge of taking pictures, underlies for the first time the presentation of the entire method.…”
