  • ISS Systems Engineering Case Study
    International Space Station Systems Engineering Case Study Dr. Bill Stockman InternationalJoe SpaceBoyle Station Systems EngineeringDr. John Bacon Case Study Air Force Center for Systems Engineering Approved for Public Release; Distribution Unlimited The views expressed in this Case Study are those of the author(s) and do not reflect the official policy or position of NASA, the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, or the United States Government. FOREWORD One of the objectives of the Air Force Center for Systems Engineering (AFCSE) is to develop case studies focusing on the application of systems engineering principles within various aerospace programs. The intent of these case studies is to examine a broad spectrum of program types and a variety of learning principles using the Friedman-Sage Framework to guide overall analysis. In addition to this case, the following studies are available at the AFCSE website. ■ Global Positioning System (space system) ■ Hubble Telescope (space system) ■ Theater Battle Management Core System (complex software development) ■ F-111 Fighter (joint program with significant involvement by the Office of the Secretary of Defense) ■ C-5 Cargo Airlifter (very large, complex aircraft) ■ A-10 Warthog (ground attack) ■ Global Hawk ■ KC-135 Simulator These cases support practitioners of systems engineering and are also used in the academic instruction in systems engineering within military service academies and at both civilian and military graduate schools. Each of the case studies comprises elements of success as well as examples of systems engineering decisions that, in hindsight, were not optimal. Both types of examples are useful for learning. Plans exist for future case studies focusing on various space systems, additional aircraft programs, munitions programs, joint service programs, logistics-led programs, science and technology/laboratory efforts, and a variety of commercial systems.

    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Naval Postgraduate School The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is a fully accredited masters-level university operated by the United States Navy. Located in Monterey, California, it grants master's degrees, engineer's degrees and doctoral degrees. The school also offers research fellowship opportunities at the postdoctoral level through the National Research Council research associateship program.[3] Overview The NPS student population is mostly active-duty officers from all branches of the U.S. military, although U.S. Government civilians and members of foreign militaries can also matriculate under a variety of programs. Most of the faculty are civilians. NPS concentrate on topics traditionally associated with civilian graduate schools, focusing on their application to the navy whereas staff colleges and war colleges concentrate instead on staff functions, civil-military affairs, tactics and strategy. On November 27, 2012, Vice Admiral Daniel Oliver (retired) and provost Dr. Leonard Ferrari were relieved of duty by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus.[2][4] [5] A Navy press release cited findings from a Naval Inspector General investigation which included Oliver's misuse of standard contracting procedures to circumvent federal hiring and compensation authorities.[2] The investigation also found that both Oliver and Ferrari "inappropriately accepted gifts from an independent private foundation organized to support the school".[2] Academic structure NPS offers

During the 11-day flight, four spacewalks will be performed—all dedicated to truss installation. The 43-foot long S0 Truss Segment will attach to the U.S. Lab and be the center section of the Station’s truss assembly. As the center section, the S0 segment will be physically attached to the Station’s U.S. lab module, Destiny. Other truss segments to be delivered on future flights will be attached to the S0 truss and support the main ISS Solar Arrays. The S0 segment will take the electrical power generated by the Solar Arrays and channel it to the rest of the Station modules. The Mobile Transporter establishes a movable base for the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (the Station’s robotic arm), allowing it to travel along the Station trusses. When all the trusses are fully assembled, the Mobile Transporter will be capable of moving from one end of the truss structure to the other, a length over 300 feet. studies that researchers hope will lead to the development of new drugs.
