European Cooperation for Space Standardization Flashcards
What is the the ECSS System?
The ECSS System offers a comprehensive and coherent set of standards, providing a complete and stable framework. This allows customers and suppliers at all levels to implement projects efficiently and cost-effectively.
How does the ECSS System support the lifecycle of space projects?
The ECSS System is constructed to be applicable throughout the entire lifecycle of space projects and programs.
What does scalability mean in the context of the ECSS System?
The ECSS System can be utilized in activities ranging from small, individual, less complex projects to very large programs involving multiple projects and interfaces.
How does the ECSS System accommodate different types of projects?
It includes a controlled method for tailoring the standards to be selectively applied depending on the type or phase of the project.
Explanation: This tailoring process ensures that the standards are not overly rigid, allowing project managers to adapt the standards based on specific project needs and contexts, enhancing relevance and efficiency.
What is the primary focus of the ECSS System?
ECSS System focuses on what is required to comply with each standard, rather than how to achieve this.
Explanation: This approach provides flexibility for different customers and suppliers to use their established “in-house” procedures or processes to comply with the standards, accommodating a variety of implementation strategies.
