“…Paris-Lopez et al (2013) describe processes for managing explicit knowledge generated during the concurrent engineering (CE) process in a space systems research institute, with specific focus on documentation and CE study artefacts, while others such as Prasad and Rogers (2005) have described a knowledge-based SE process that makes use of explicit and tacit knowledge to support mechanical design of component assemblies. The approach based on part templates and given requirements is fully compatible with and implemented in CATIA V5 and includes a product development taxonomy that allows the transformation of input specifications to a product realization using knowledge stored in template descriptions.…”

Despite popular belief, space missions are not always one-of-a-kind, but are frequently benefiting from explicit or implicit reuse of different types. The Venus Express mission is one example of cost savings by reusing existing hardware in a new mission context. Other examples are based on the platform approach, popular, for example, in geostationary telecommunication satellites, which benefits from a pre-planned reuse and its application to a family of missions with commonality. While the latter is handled more strategically, promising more gain in its execution, the Venus Express example is more of an ad hoc nature. Given the increasing importance of design reuse, the practical question to be answered in this article is how to promote it using effective engineering methods and processes. Model-based systems engineering often advertises itself as especially beneficial to reuse projects and we provide a systematic review of the respective capabilities in this article. Furthermore, we describe two reuse application examples: an asteroid nanolander based on the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout lander currently flying onboard Hayabusa2 and a Small Satellite Platform for Earth science missions. With Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout's heritage generating strong interest for future small body missions, this creates a case for what we call ad hoc reuse. Conversely, the Small Satellite Technology Platform, which is currently in its definition phase, can be classified as systematic reuse case with the aim of developing a commonality-based small satellite family, suitable for a set of rapidly recurring missions in low Earth orbit. Our study of the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout-2 reuse case has provided insights into reuse requirements, which are mapped to typical model-based systems engineering features that create value beyond those offered by classical approaches. The article identifies key areas where model-based systems engineering provides benefits in reuse cases: requirements reuse, system context analysis as well as interface compatibility checking. It further outlines an overall approach regarding tools and development processes.

The development of space systems involves complex interdisciplinary systems engineering. To manage such complexity, simulation and calculation models are becoming an integral part of it, where different domain-specific models (power, thermal, structure, propulsion, communication, etc.) are developed using different tools. Every domain model contains valuable knowledge of a respective discipline. However, creating such models takes an ample amount of time and efforts. Therefore, a common management for these models is needed to preserve the knowledge and to reuse them in future space missions. The project Simulation Model Library (SimMoLib) at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) develops guidelines and best practices regarding model development, model documentation, validation and verification, as well as model reviews to establish a collection of reusable models. To efficiently catalog the models, an innovative software system is created to support collaborative development, submission, archiving, review, search, and utilization of models. In SimMoLib, a model linking concept has been developed and implemented to enhance the model search and their probable reuse. Along with regular keyword-based search, a direct and an indirect linking between the models in the library has been implemented. Therefore, the model linking increases the visibility and consequently promotes the reuse of single and interdependent models within the library. The paper further describes different types of model relationships, categories, hierarchical levels of model development, implementation and presentation of model linking in detail.
