Description
The current presentation focuses on the impact of best practices and guidelines for safe close proximity operations on the conception, the design, and the validation and verification (V&V) of the S/C mission and systems. After introducing the key safety requirements for safe Close Proximity Operations, their impact on the system and mission design will be discussed in details, with a focus on specific analyses and tests that are required to validate and verify the design and requirements. Finally, the validation and verification process will be described and applied to a cooperative rendezvous case study, detailing the tools required at each stage of the process, with a focus on trajectory validation, collision risk assessment, and compatibility analysis.
