“Architecting Spacecraft with SysML: A Model-Based Systems Engineering Approach” is a technical book that delves into the use of Systems Modelling Language (SysML) for the design and development of spacecraft.

SysML is a standardised general-purpose modelling language used to support systems engineering applications, and it plays a crucial role in the complex task of architecturing.

This book offers a comprehensive guide on how to effectively apply SysML to design, providing readers with methodologies, practical tips, and examples. It explores the benefits of a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach, which uses models to support the requirements, design, analysis, verification, and validation of a complex system throughout its life cycle.

The primary focus is on how SysML can be utilised to enhance the understanding, development, and testing of systems, ensuring that all components work together in a cohesive and efficient manner. This approach aims to reduce the risk of errors and increases the efficiency of the design process by enabling better communication among engineers.

The book is aimed at systems engineers, architects, and designers, providing them with the necessary tools and insights to optimise the design using advanced systems engineering principles.
