Configuration management of GMS-2 tracking and control system development
Abstract
Features of the configuration management (CM) program followed during development of the Japanese GMS-II satellite are reviewed. CM was implemented from system design to operation. It covered design guidelines, baseline design changes, recording and reporting the management process, and result. The design, production, test process, and personnel structure were modeled. Relations were defined between the design and production models and the management. The CM program enabled early detection of changes that would affect the outside of the system or the subsystems. Decision-making was streamlined as communications became precise between the management agency, NASDA, and the contractor. Timely software development was a continuing problem during the project.
