Abstract
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the formalized application of modeling to support systems engineering. The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Space Systems Working Group (SSWG) has been investigating the applicability of MBSE for designing CubeSats by developing a CubeSat Reference Model (CRM). The CRM is intended for instruction and for designing and building a mission-specific CubeSat. Additionally, we are collaborating with Object Management Group (OMG) Space Domain Task Force (SDTF) to develop the CRM as an OMG specification. Our application of MBSE utilizes the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) a graphical modeling language. This paper presents reports on the maturation of the CRM including: 1) CRM as an OMG specification, 2) expansion of architecture and requirement packages to component level, 3) population of architecture and requirement packages using table-based user interfaces, 4) incorporation of technical measures and use cases, and 5) CRM validation strategy.
