1. Consultation and Preliminary Design
(1 - 6 mo.*)
Carefully listen to the customer and concept-design a nano-satellite to
meet the customer need. Document concept design review.
Estimate approximate cost. Start searching for a rocket to launch the satellite. |
 |
|
2. Prototype Design (about 6 mo.*)
Design the details of the instruments for the satellite based on the preliminary design.
|
 |
|
3. Manufacture and testing of
Engineering Model (EM)
(about 8mo. *)
Build EM. Conduct testing in harsh environments (extreme temperature, vacuum, vibration, etc.) to confirm that the EM can survive in space.
|
 |
|
4. Manufacture and testing of Flight Model (FM)
(about 8 mo.*)
Receive feedback from the EM tests, build FM, and conduct space environment tests. |
 |
|
5. Launch Support (about 1 mo.*)
Configure satellite-rocket interface.
Prepare and rehearse satellite operation.
