EN 14160:2001
(Main)Space engineering - Software
Space engineering - Software
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.
Raumfahrttechnik - Software
Diese Europäische 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.
Diese Norm 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. die ¿Produktsoftware des Raumfahrtsystems". Sie bezieht sich nicht auf die Entwicklung von Software für Bereiche außerhalb des Normensystems für die Raumfahrt, wie dies zum Beispiel für die Entwicklung von Softwarepaketen für handelsübliche Zwecke gilt, bei denen Software für einen größeren Markt und nicht nur für einen einzelnen Kunden entwickelt wird, wo die Grundanforderungen aus einer Marktanalyse in Verbindung mit einer Marketingstrategie entwickelt werden.
Diese Norm behandelt auch nicht Softwareprodukte wie Managementinformationssysteme (z. B. Finanzen, Planung), technische Informationssysteme (z. B. CAD/CAM, Analysepakete) und unterstützende Softwareprodukte für Dokumentationssysteme, Datenbanksysteme und Tabellenkalkulationsprogramme. Diese werden üblicherweise im Zusammenhang mit der Beschaffung oder Anpassung vorhandener Produkte entwickelt, aber nicht im Rahmen der Entwicklung von Raumfahrtsystemen. Derartige Softwareprodukte werden jedoch häufig zur Unterstützung der Infrastruktur für Raumfahrtsysteme eingesetzt.
Ingéniérie spatiale - Logiciel
La présente Norme européenne définit l'objet du processus d'ingénierie du logiciel spatial ainsi que les interfaces avec les branches Management (EN 13290) et Assurance Produit (EN 13291) du système de normes ECSS et explique comment la présente norme s'applique au processus d'ingénierie du logiciel.
La présente norme s'applique à tous les éléments d'un système spatial, y compris le segment spatial, le segment de service de lancement et le segment au sol.
La présente norme couvre tous les aspects de l'ingénierie du logiciel spatial y compris la définition des exigences, la conception, la production, la vérification et validation, les opérations de transfert et la maintenance.
L'objet de la présente norme est le logiciel développé dans le cadre d'un projet spatial, c'est-à-dire, le "produit logiciel du système spatial". La présente norme n'est pas destinée à couvrir les développements logiciels en dehors du domaine des normes ECSS. Un exemple en serait le développement d'un logiciel commercial visant un (large) volume de marché et non pas un utilisateur unique ; l'analyse de l'exigence principale consisterait en une analyse de marché couplée à une stratégie marketing.
Les autres types de produits logiciels non couverts par la présente norme sont : les systèmes d'informations de management (par exemple, finance, planification), les systèmes d'informations techniques (par exemple, CFAO, logiciels d'analyse) et les produits logiciels de support des systèmes de documentation, des systèmes de banques de données et des tableurs. Ces types de produits résultent de l'approvisionnement ou de l'adaptation de produits commerciaux existants et ne sont pas issus d'un développement de système spatial. Ces produits logiciels font cependant souvent partie d'une infrastructure de support des systèmes spatiaux.

3) Software life cyclesThere is an abundant technical literature on the different types of software life cycles. This Standard does notrecommend any specific life cycle. Instead the requirements to be used in the choice of a life cycle for a givensoftware project are to be defined, such that the software life cycle remains consistent with the overall organizationand management of the space project organization and management, and that the life cycle outputs remainconsistent with the requirements of the space standard EN 13290. Commonly known classes of software life cyclesare:—the Waterfall life cycle,—the Incremental life cycle, and—the Evolutionary life cycle.This Standard has been verified for compatibility with these, but the choice is not limited to these three types.SIST EN 14160:2004
