Preliminary Architecture design

Functional architecture

Top level Vehicle

Overall Requirement statements, Generated by project stakeholders (This still needs to take place):

• Can be found in 0.0 Rocket Requirements and Specification

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#.
