Mission
The purpose of the Space Systems Working Group (SSWG) is to expand the body of knowledge of systems engineering as it is applied to space systems. Specifically, the purpose of the SSWG is to:
- Promote the use of systems engineering principles, techniques, and practices in government, academic, and private industry organizations which are identified with space applications
- Provide a forum in the professional networking of INCOSE that is pertinent to professionals in the space systems community
- Support the INCOSE Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) Initiative by developing an MBSE Systems Modeling Language (SysML) Reference Model of a CubeSat
Scope
The SSWG explores the application of systems engineering to space systems in government, industry, and academia.
Goals
An overarching goal for the SSWG is to increase the quality and scope of the technical and professional information available to its members and to enhance the interchange of that information between its members. A specific goal for the SSWG is to develop a CubeSat System Reference Model (CSRM) that is distributed to and adapted by CubeSat projects and that covers an entire CubeSat project life cycle from concept to retirement.
