Spaceflight Systems Engineering & Integration Support Service

Service Description

System design is a creative process by which our understanding of logic and science is joined with our understanding of need. This serves specific and tangible purposes. Systems design, therefore, is primarily concerned with the creation of structures, machines, electronics, and software. With the purposeful combination of these components the result is meaningful systems.

The increasing complexity and demands of products and systems have also amplified the need for increased quality, reliability, and safety. To meet these challenges, product development teams are joining in collaborative partnerships to collectively combat the challenges of this new product development worldview. Our approach to systems engineering and integration is anchored by world-class model-based systems engineering methods and processes, and implemented in an integrated development environment required to meet these challenges.

At NovaTek we have supported numerous spaceflight system development efforts as a valued member of extended design teams. Our Spaceflight Systems Engineering & Integration Support Service assists our Clients in the following areas of system design: (1) system concept & architecture development, (2) requirements engineering, (3) requirements traceability, (4) interface definition & management, (5) systems analysis, (6) trade studies, (7) analysis of alternatives, (8) systems integration, (9) system validation & verification, and (10) configuration management. We can work independently using our time-tested system design process, methods, and tools, or work in an integrated product team (IPT) environment supporting a larger design team. NovaTek has proven its value by developing systems that increase clients' control of cost, time, and resources.
