Abstract

The benefits of systems engineering are clearly visible in space projects, which are usually distributed over several contributing institutions. For the similarly complex ground-based astronomy project GIRMOS the systems engineering work of the preliminary and critical design phases is presented, including the applied tailoring of typical methods. The resulting requirements flow-down, interface definitions and focus on essential methods could serve as a guideline for resource-limited yet complex projects.
