Tasks Applicable Mission Phases Description SFWC Artifacts References
2.3.5-2-1 Ensure Field-of-View/Field-of-Regard (FOV/FOR) requirements for all hardware are considered in the vehicle configuration Phase B | Phase C | Ensure consideration for FOV/FOR needs is incorporated into the vehicle layout. The FOV over the entire FOR should be considered. Payloads, attitude sensor, antennas and other like items all have Field-of-View and Field-of-Regard requirements. At CDR, ensure FOV/FOR requirements for all hardware and mechanical envelopes are considered and incorporated into the ICD, and vehicle layout.

2.3.5-2-5 Ensure the stowed configuration satisfies MDI related requirements Phase B | Phase C | Ensure minimized need for and complexity of deployables. NA Design Review Data Package TOR-2006(8506)-4494, Space Systems Engineering Handbook, MDI Section
2.3.5-2-6 Ensure that the mechanical layout provides an efficient structural load path Phase B | Phase C | PLACEHOLDER NA NA TOR-2006(8506)-4494, Space Systems Engineering Handbook, MDI Section
2.3.5-2-7 Ensure that the mechanical layout considers alignment requirements Phase B | Phase C | PLACEHOLDER NA Design Review Data Package TOR-2006(8506)-4494, Space Systems Engineering Handbook, MDI Section
2.3.5-2-8 Ensure that Critical Clearances are identified and tracked Phase B | Phase C | Ensure analysis of critical clearances. NA Design Review Data Package TOR-2006(8506)-4494, Space Systems Engineering Handbook, MDI Section
2.3.5-2-9 Ensure that ground handling considerations have been considered in the design Phase B | Phase C | Ensure movement of the entire SV, or larger subassemblies considers handling/facility limitations. This can include clearance for handling carts, overhead crane (hook)/ceiling heights, as well as pass thru(s), doorways, and aisle limitations. All sites where the SV or major subassemblies will be processed (including, e.g., subcontractor facilities, or the payload processing facility) should be considered in the evaluation.
