Designing a Spacecraft in 100 hours

The goal of this project was to design all subsystems of a spacecraft with a systems engineering approach including part selection and concept of operations within 100 hours. This project was one of the biggest learning experiences for me that taught me the systems engineering approach to the design and planning of complex systems. From requirements definition to part selection, all aspects taught me a great deal.

Here’s the a deck which covers the project in detail:

Prit Chovatiya – 100 hour exam

Description

As a part of my systems engineering course, I was assessed on my ability to design a first-iteration spacecraft which includes budgets and part selection for all subsystems. The time limit on this project was 100 hours.
