Abstract
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a key practice to advance systems engineering that can benefit CubeSat missions. MBSE involves creating a system model that is a single source for systems engineering such as architecture development and interface management. The system model can also integrate other discipline specific engineering models and simulations. Our application of MBSE uses Systems Modeling Language (SysML), which is a graphical modeling language, to model all aspects of a system either directly or through an interface with another model. SysML diagrams are used to describe requirements, structures, behaviors, and parametrics from the system down to the component level. The model is intended for use by aerospace students in their classroom or by a team building a mission-specific CubeSat. The model is being developed by the Space Systems Working Group (SSWG) of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). This paper provides an overview of the model development, architecture, and application; and it outlines the current direction of the SSWG.
