A
spacecraft is a complex group of interrelated subsystems.
The
engineering challenge is apparent; other limitations,
such as budgetary and time constraints, are equally
difficult. Discussion here will focus on engineering.

Space
Systems Engineering
encompasses
the spacecraft's entire life cycle from development
to space systems operations and eventual end of
life. It is an organized and disciplined method
broken down into compartmentalized processes with
design milestones, measures of success and well-defined
team responsibilities.
