NewSpace mission analysis:A case study of how to reduce the information gap between mission owner and supplier

Sammanfattning: Systems for space are a challenge to construct. By creating the right requirements, the probability of creating the desired systems is increased. This thesis investigates the information flow between the NewSpace company Unibap, and their customers, concerning environment requirements, operational scenarios, and mission objectives. The investigation was conducted through a case study involving interviews, surveys, observation, and documents. The surveys were answered by personnel at the NewSpace company, and were followed by an interview. These tools were used to identify the important factors to understand while developing Unibaps products for space. The purpose of this thesis was to determine what information should be asked of the customers in the project. It was found that the environment, operational scenarios, and interfaces were the most important to understand at the beginning of the project. A document with questions to ask the customers at the beginning of the project was produced, as well as a process to improve the information flow.
