What is PD CEN/TR 17603-60 - Control engineering handbook about?
PD CEN/TR 17603-60 is a technical handbook dealing with control systems developed as part of a space project. PD CEN/TR 17603-60 is applicable to all the elements of a space system, including the space segment, the ground segment, and the launch service segment. PD CEN/TR 17603-60 covers all aspects of space control engineering including requirements definition, analysis, design, production, verification and validation, transfer, operations, and maintenance.
PD CEN/TR 17603-60 describes the scope of the space control engineering process and its interfaces with management and product assurance and explains how they apply to the control engineering process.
Who is PD CEN/TR 17603-60 - Control engineering handbook for?
PD CEN/TR 17603-60 on control engineering handbook is useful for:
- Aerospace engineers
- Electrical engineers
- The electronics industry
- Mechanical engineers
- Safety engineers
- System engineers
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 17603-60 - Control engineering handbook?
Control engineering, particularly as applied to space systems, is a multidisciplinary field. PD CEN/TR 17603-60 provides its users with specific issues involved in control engineering and is intended to be used as a structured set of systematic engineering provisions, referring to the specific standards and handbooks of the discipline where appropriate.
For this, and reasons such as the very rapid progress of control component technologies and associated “de facto” standards, PD CEN/TR 17603-60 does not go to the level of describing equipment or interfaces. Using PD CEN/TR 17603-60 guidelines enhances safety and protection, documentation, and quality assurance for its users.
