What is BS EN 16603-10-09 - Reference coordinate system about?
The objective of the coordinate systems standard is to define the requirements related to the various coordinate systems, as well as their related mutual interrelationships and transformations, which are used for mission definition, engineering, verification, operations and output data processing of a space system and its elements.
BS EN 16603-10-09 aims at providing a practical, space-focused implementation of Coordinate Systems, developing a set of definitions and requirements. These constitute a common reference or “checklist” of maximum utility for organizing and conducting the system engineering activities of a space system project or for participating as a customer or supplier at any level of system decomposition.
Who is BS EN 16603-10-09 - Reference coordinate system for?
BS EN 16603-10-09 on reference coordinate system is relevant to:
- Space project managers
- System engineers for spacecraft projects
- Manufacturers of spacecraft products
- Technical personnel for spacecraft projects
Why should you use BS EN 16603-10-09 - Reference coordinate system?
A clear definition of reference directions, coordinate systems, and their interrelationships is part of the System Engineering process. Problems caused by inadequate early definition, often pass unnoticed during the exchange of technical information.
BS EN 16603-10-09 assist in addressing this problem by separating the technical aspects from the issues connected with the process, maintenance, and transfer of such information.
BS EN 16603-10-09 provides explanation and justification, applicable to all types of space systems, missions, and phases and also provides recommendations regarding the coordinate system. This assist in organizing and conducting the system engineering activities of a space system project.
BS EN 16603-10-09 also provides you with the technical requirements, general requirements and process requirements of coordinate systems.
