Enabling Continuity: from Design to Operations
Description

The D2OPS activity started with the goal of applying MBSE practices to enable digital continuity between design and operations. This study involves the following main activities:

  • ML with the context of MBSE: demonstrates the integration of MBSE to bridge the gap between the domain experts and the data scientists and applying ML for satellite mission operations.
  • Demonstration of the planning application scenario using the Advanced Planning & Scheduling Initiative (APIS) framework. The planning app demonstrates the Onboard Autonomy Experiment that has been deployed on ESA’s OPS-SAT mission scenario.
  • Development of proof-of-concept tool for procedure generation and verification, the PoC is an OPEN-M based tool which allows users to insert, retrieve, update, and delete data from/to the MBSE hub (JanusGraph), generate procedures based on the data retrieved from the MBSE hub. The prototype also demonstrates the finite state machine approach for procedure verification.
