Writing Assignment: UAS Design Analysis and Conceptual Proposal
There are numerous examples of unmanned spacecraft, designed to meet specific applications and missions, ranging from testing and evaluation of system performance to exploration. For this activity, investigate three examples of unmanned spacecraft designs from the following periods (one from each):
· 1950s-1970s
· 1980s-1990s
Research, identify, and analyze the following:
· Purpose of the design, including driving factors that led to development
· Design, including: a) functional capabilities, b) architecture, and c) unique components and elements
· Differences with contemporary manned spacecraft capability and designs of the time, including benefits, limitations, and rationale justifying use
· After conducting your three historical analyses, investigate emerging (new) needs that unmanned spacecraft may be well suited to support to propose a conceptual design to meet one or more, such needs. Clearly identify and support the perceived need with a high-level design, including presentation of architectural overview (subsystems to major elements), discussion of unique elements/components, and explanation of rationale supporting proposal.
This paper should be written in the most recent APA format, feature at least 12 total references(three per historical period and three for proposal), include at least 1,000 words and feature the
headings listed in this document.
