“A key advantage of the Starshield architecture is its proliferated nature, with a large number of relatively small satellites able to provide global communications coverage. This design offers significant resiliency compared to the traditional paradigm of a few large geostationary satellites that are expected to be targeted by enemies in a conflict. Felt said DoD wants to diversify its LEO architecture not just by adding more Starshield satellites but also new commercial services that have yet to enter the market like Amazon’s Project Kuiper. “We still have to figure out how we best embrace PLEO,” Felt said. “Do we buy it as a service? Do we double down on the Starshield government owned architecture? There’s various different ways that we can embrace proliferated LEO, but it’s absolutely essential that we do.” https://lnkd.in/gMDWq9a5

🚀 In recent years we are witnessing a new space revolution, driven by the emergence of new technologies, the reduction of entry barriers and the proliferation of new products and services using the space environment. As a result, new mission concepts based on manned flights, mega constellations, on-orbit servicing, microsatellites, etc. are emerging and consolidating, changing the paradigm concerning conventional systems. In this context of the aerospace sector, new challenges and trends have arisen from the perspective of systems engineering and RAMS. Pablo López Negro, Head of Innovation at ANZEN Engineering has analysed them in the V Space Engineering Congress organized by the Space Committee of the Spanish Institute of Engineering (IIE) (Comité del Espacio): 🔹 Reliability: the impact of New Space, the commercial context and new mission concepts have replaced the typical interpretation of reliability at satellite level by a global interpretation at mission level. 🔹 Availability: space missions have transitioned from providing a high value-added service but not critical for society to new missions where the continuity of service must be guaranteed. 🔹 Maintainability: except in rare cases, it has not been a common concern for missions until now, but that has changed, and new trends are emerging: new reusable launchers, mission concepts based on constellations with periodic satellite replacement or advances in on-orbit servicing. 🔹 Safety: with reinforced efforts required by new applications such as the renewed interest in human space flight or the increasing concern about planetary protection and sustainability of space operations. Pablo López also analysed the available solutions and emerging technologies to address these challenges in upcoming space missions. #SpaceInnovation #RAMS #SpaceInfrastructure #ANZENEngineering #Networking
