Nanosatellite Event Simulator Development Using Scrum Agile Method and Safety-Critical Application Development Environment

摘要

Development of satellite and launcher subsystems involves programming complex embedded systems and dealing with multiple system interactions while complying with both functional and technical requirements as well as software quality. Space onboard system project development is complex and is normally both time consuming and highly susceptible to errors. The combination of scrum agile methods with model-based programming addresses these restraints and allows synergetic interactions between team members. This paper describes the classroom experience of a group of students in the development of a Nanosatellite Event Simulator and its display interface for an Attitude Control and Determination Subsystem (ACDS). It was used the instructional technique of Interdisciplinary Project Based Learning (IPBL) and the software Safety-Critical Application Development Environment (SCADE).
