What is BS EN 16603-60-10 - Control performance about?
BS EN 16603-60-10 deals with control systems developed as part of a space project.
BS EN 16603-60-10 applies to all the elements of the space system, including the space segment, the ground segment, and the launch service segment.
BS EN 16603-60-10 addresses the issue of control performance, in terms of definition, specification, verification, and validation methods and processes.
BS EN 16603-60-10 defines a general framework for handling performance indicators, which applies to all disciplines involving control engineering, and which can be applied as well at different levels ranging from equipment to system level. BS EN 16603-60-10 also focuses on the specific performance indicators applicable to the case of closed-loop control systems - mainly stability and robustness.
Rules are provided for combining different error sources to build up a performance error budget and use this to assess compliance with a requirement.
Note: Indeed, the definitions and the normative clauses of BS EN 16603-60-10 apply to point performance; nevertheless, fully specific pointing issues are not addressed here in detail (spinning spacecraft cases for example).
Who is BS EN 16603-60-10 - Control performance for?
BS EN 16603-60-10 on control performance is relevant to:
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Design engineers
- Project personnel for spacecraft projects
- Space products manufacturers
