Astro MBSE: model based system engineering synthesized for the Italian astronomical community
Date Issued
2022
Abstract
Systems Engineering requires the involvement of different engineering disciplines: Software, Electronics, Mechanics
(often nowadays together as Mechatronics), Optics etc. Systems Engineering of Astronomical Instrumentation is no
exception to this. A critical point is the handling of the different point of view introduced by these disciplines often
related to different tools and cultures. Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach can help the Systems
Engineer to always have a complete view of the full system. Moreover, in an ideal situation, all of the information
resides in the model thus allowing different views of the System without having to resort to different sources of
information, often outdated. In the real world, however, this does not happen because the different actors (Optical
Designers, Mechanical Engineers, Astronomers etc.) should adopt the same language and this is clearly, at least
nowadays and for the immediate future, close to impossible.
In the Italian Astronomical Community, we are developing methodologies and tools to share the expertise in this field
among the different projects. In this paper we present the status of this activity that aims to deliver to the community
proper tools and template to enable a uniformed use of MBSE (friendly name Astro MBSE) among different projects
(ground and space based, …). We will analyze here different software and different approaches. The target and synthesis
of this work will be a support framework for the MBSE based system Engineering activity to the Italian Astronomical
Community (INAF).
