This European Standard defines the space software engineering process and its interfaces with the
space project management standards (EN 13290) and space product assurance standards (EN 13291)
and explains how they apply in the software engineering process.
This Standard is applicable to all the elements of a space system, including the space segment, the
launch service segment and the ground segment.
This Standard covers all aspects of space software engineering including requirements definition,
design, production, verification and validation, and transfer, operations and maintenance.
The scope of this Standard is the software developed as part of a space project, i.e. "Space system
product software". It is not intended to cover software developments out of scope with the system of
space standards. An example is the development of commercial software packages, where software is
developed for a (large) volume market and not just for a single customer, and the main requirement
analysis consists of market analysis, combined with a marketing strategy.
Other classes of software products not covered are: management information systems (e.g. finance,
planning), technical information systems (e.g. CAD/CAM, analysis packages) and supporting software
products for documentation systems, database systems, spreadsheets.
These usually result from the
procurement or adaptation of existing commercial products, and not part of the space system
development. Such software products are, however, often part of a supporting infrastructure for space
systems.
When viewed from the perspective of a specific project context, the requirements defined in this
Standard should be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances
of a project.
NOTE Tailoring is the process by which individual requirements or specifications, standards and related
documents are evaluated and made applicable (...abbreviated)
Diese Norm legt den Software-Engineeringprozess für die Raumfahrt sowie seine Schnittstellen mit den Raumfahrtnormen fest, die das Management (EN 13290) und die Produktsicherung (EN 13291) betreffen, und erläutert den Umfang, in dem sie für den Engineeringprozess gelten. Diese Norm gilt für alle Segmente eines Raumfahrtsystems, d. h., sie umfasst das Raumsegment, das Startservicesegment und das Bodensegment. Sie behandelt alle Aspekte des Software-Engineering für die Raumfahrt wie Anforderungen, Design, Produktion, Verifizierung und Validierung, Übertragung, Betrieb und Softwarepflege. Diese Norm gilt für Software, wie sie für Raumfahrtprojekte entwickelt wird, d. h. für die "Produktsoftware des Raumfahrtsystems". Sie soll Kunden bei der Formulierung ihrer Anforderungen wie auch Lieferanten bei der Reaktion auf die Kundenwünsche und die Durchführung der Arbeiten unterstützen.
