2.2. Conceptual design of a satellite mission Students work in groups to develop the conceptual design of a satellite mission. Each group member adopts a specific role and they have to work and communicate as an engineering team to define their mission requirements, derive the system and subsystem requirements,design the different subsystems in accordance with those requirements and ensure the consistency and feasibility of the overall design.The mission statement of each project is defined by the respective team. Some examples of the projects developed are:
(i) Provide images of high latitude oceans of interest for sea transport. The images should allow the analysis
of the ice caps melting to assess the feasibility and safety of maritime routes in high latitudes.
