A framework for orbital performance evaluation in Distributed Space Missions for earth observation
Sreeja Nag,Jacqueline LeMoigne,David W. Miller,Olivier de Weck +3 more
- 07 Mar 2015
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a software framework developed on the MATLAB engine interfacing with STK, for DSM orbit design and selection, which is capable of generating thousands of homogeneous constellation or formation flight architectures based on predefined design variable ranges and sizing those architectures in terms of pre-defined performance metrics.
Dependency structure matrix modelling for stakeholder value networks
Wen Feng,Edward F. Crawley,Olivier de Weck,R. Keller,Bob Robinson +4 more
- 01 Jan 2010
TL;DR: Wen Feng et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a dependency structure matrix model for stakeholder value networks, which is based on the dependency matrix model of the DSM 12th International DSM Conference on Stakeholder Value Networks.
Optimal Reconfigurations for Increasing Capacity of Communication Satellite Constellations
Afreen Siddiqi,Jason Mellein,Olivier de Weck +2 more
- 18 Apr 2005
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal initial stage of a satellite constellation can be determined given the need to reconfigure for an uncertain higher capacity demand at a later time, where the set of potential new capacity demands is bounded by a discrete set of future scenarios, each associated with a particular probability of occurence.
A Generalized Multi-Commodity Network Flow Model for Space Exploration Logistics
Takuto Ishimatsu,Olivier de Weck,Jeffrey A. Hoffman,Yoshiaki Ohkami,Robert Shishko +4 more
- 10 Sep 2013
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized multi-commodity network flow (GMCNF) model is proposed to evaluate and optimize space exploration logistics from a "network" perspective, which can handle multiple commodities that interact with each other in the form of requirement at nodes, transformation on edges and concurrency within edges.

Metrics for Assessing Coupling Density and Modularity in Complex Products and Systems
Katja Hölttä-Otto,Olivier de Weck +1 more
- 01 Jan 2007
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed two metrics based on a design structure matrix (DSM) to better understand the degree of modularity, and they showed that real products typically have NZF values between 0.05 and 0.4 and SMI values that are bounded in the range from 0.25 to 0.45.
