spacecraft systems engineering

Spacecraft systems engineering is the multidisciplinary process of designing, integrating, and managing all the systems that make a spacecraft operate safely and effectively. It involves coordinating various components such as power, communication, propulsion, navigation, and thermal control to work together seamlessly. Engineers ensure that each system meets mission requirements, functions reliably in space, and safely interacts with other systems. This holistic approach helps identify potential issues early, optimize performance, and ensure the spacecraft can accomplish its objectives throughout its mission lifetime.
