Abstract

Today's complex technological systems cater to a wide variety of stakeholders and their construction involves a multitude of development disciplines. This paper reports on the design of a Modeling Support Environment (MSE) intended to support a large development project concerning the design of fractionated spacecraft architectures. We discuss unique features of the MSE that support its use by a wide spectrum of potential users and developers of a system of fractionated spacecraft: identification of user types, automated generation and conditioning of the solutions space, flexible simulation services, and semantics-based orchestration of service oriented architecture. The paper closes by pointing to the generic quality of the MSE concept and its applicability to today's complex technology systems.
