ConOps Nominal Stages
1.0 Assembly - 2.0 Ground functions - 3.0 Launch - 4.0 Powered Flight - 5.0 Coast - 6.0 Apogee Events - 7.0 High velocity Descent - 8.0 Low altitude Events - 9.0 Low velocity Descent - 10.0 Landing - 11.0 Recovery & Disassembly
Each stage can be broken down further into nominal (NX.X.X) and Off-nominal (EX.X.X) Steps:
Physical architecture
