Objectives:The objective is to develop a digital framework for ground engineering processes that provides the capabilities to enable missions to migrate to a fully model-centric operations and science ground segment engineering approach.Description:Currently ground segment engineering applied in the operations and science ground segments is a largely document-centric process. This approachleads to information being distributed in a large number of documents, often redundant and inconsistent. It is rather cumbersome toretrieve the information. With mission operations and science ground segment engineering becoming more complex with each mission, moving the engineering processes from a document-centric to a model-centric system engineering approach, is a necessity. It will improve efficiency and robustness of the process.
