Jamie Dronen, Director, MILSATCOM Future & International
Programmes, The Aerospace Corporation
HALF-DAY POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Wednesday 17th May 2017
Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore
8.30am – 12.30pm
Architecting Space Systems
Workshop overview:
Space Systems are increasingly complex, with large trade
spaces that require consideration of many elements. By
applying systematic processes in SatCom space system
architecture studies, decision makers gain insight into both
the advantages and disadvantages of different options to
support future courses of action. Architecting space systems
requires a big-picture view of the problem being addressed,
including understanding current shortfalls and future needs.
In the course of an architecture study, many tools and
processes are used to identify options, understand the risks
associated with the options, and to run excursions within
the trade space. In this workshop, a survey-level overview of
architecting s[pace systems and evaluation of space systems
architectures will be presented, with a discussion of tools and
techniques that have been developed and applied to solve
recent architectural problems.
Why you should attend:
• Understand the fundamentals of architecting resilient
SatCom systems
• Learn about some of the tools and techniques for SatCom
system architecture development
• Explore the process of SatCom system architecture
evaluation
Agenda
08.30 Registration & Coffee
09.00 Opening remarks and introductions
09.10 Resilient SatCom Space System Architectures
Overview of the concept and process for
developing SatCom space system architectures
• Fundamentals of Space System Architecting
• System of Systems Architectures and
Interoperability
• Tools and Techniques
10.10 Coffee
10.40 Evaluation of SatCom Space System Architectures
In the course of a SatCom system architecture
study, multiple architecture options may prove
viable. Evaluation of the architectures is an
important step in moving forward with an
architecture decision
• Overview of the U.S. Analysis of Alternatives
(AoAs) and decision making processes
• Tools and Techniques
11.40 Closing remarks and discussion
