- Abstract
This paper describes the interrelation of technical and system engineering (SE) with business engineering (BE) aspects to be managed for ensuring true feasibility of the Land and Ocean Global Observation from Space (LOGOS) new mission. The LOGOS space mission aims at providing most reliable services to customers with a data portfolio covering the near and long term trends and predictions in global commodities such as food supplies, both terrestrial and aquatic. Customers will enhance the LOGOS data to support economic predictions in the global marketplace. The SE process focused on two main topics: vegetation (with associated constraints by project sponsor CNES) and ocean colour monitoring. Elaborations on SE cover technical mission aspects and the required system-segment trade-offs such as coverage, products characteristics, quality, service continuity, etc. In parallel, the BE process addressed primarily potential business models and relevant financial aspects of the mission and service provision when realized as commercial entity. Finally, an iterative process of combined SE and BE approaches took place to assure financial feasibility based on a dedicated market analysis. This work has been performed by the participants to the SpaceTech Master's degree programme of the Technical University of Delft and was sponsored by the French National Space Agency, CNES. Contributions by the entire SpaceTech team are gratefully acknowledged.
