ECOSAT Study Logic<br />

– Comply<strong>in</strong>g with study constra<strong>in</strong>ts to not overlap o<strong>the</strong>r on-go<strong>in</strong>g<br />

susta<strong>in</strong>ability studies, and focus only on satellite design, it was<br />

decided that <strong>the</strong> study team should look <strong>in</strong>to three levels:<br />

– Level 1: Space mission design. Typical <strong>CDF</strong> work but putt<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>the</strong> design emphasis on reduc<strong>in</strong>g or obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g a green<br />

footpr<strong>in</strong>t i.e. reduc<strong>in</strong>g space debris, clean propellant etc.<br />

– Level 2: System eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g. Improve ground-models,<br />

test<strong>in</strong>g facilities, materials etc.<br />

– Level 3: Earth-based <strong>in</strong>frastructure related to space.<br />

Standards, way of work<strong>in</strong>g, facilities etc.<br />

– The study started with a workshop on C2C given to <strong>the</strong> team<br />

– Unfortunately, after follow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> workshop, <strong>the</strong><br />

methodology beh<strong>in</strong>d C2C was still not entirely clear<br />
