ConOPS Stages
These are the distinct states of rocket operations.
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. This is described in system-level functional-flow block diagrams for each stage
Physical architecture
Break top level vehicle into the following subsections - Based on physical location
Each subsection is assigned a Section number S#.
