Understanding Model Philosophies in Space Projects
In space engineering, selecting the right model philosophy is not just a technical detail-> it is a strategic decision that directly impacts risk, cost, and schedule.

Through this presentation, I’ll explore how model philosophies drive the entire verification strategy:

• Introduction to project phases and critical milestones (the top-down and bottom-up approach)
• Introduction to ECSS-E-HB-10-02A (for applicability or reference)
• Prototype vs Protoflight vs Hybrid approaches
• Different models used from development to flight (DM, EM, QM, PFM, FM…)
• Time to test. What is needed on each model?
