Complex requirements in the aerospace industry

From Rocket Science to New Space

BernhardBals NewSpace – Bernhard Bals

Over decades, space agencies and large organizations have developed process standards and successfully implemented unique space missions. Today, small and medium-sized companies face the challenge of not being crushed between binding regulations, extensive process requirements and economic reality when developing competitive and agile space systems.

As an aerospace expert with many years of experience in systems development and quality management processes, I support you in maintaining an overview and being effective. So that you can successfully implement your development projects at all levels.

Upheaval in the aviation industry

From aircraft construction to air mobility

BernhardBals FutureAirMobility – Bernhard Bals

The aviation industry is undergoing significant change due to new social, environmental and economic trends.

New technologies and leaner development processes are needed to achieve the aviation industry’s sustainability goals economically. This repeatedly results in high follow-up costs because problems and faults are not detected and rectified at an early stage.

With many years of experience in systems development and the aviation industry, I can support you in setting up your development processes in such a way that they meet the new market requirements and at the same time possible problems can be recognized at an early stage. In this way, you end up saving where the greatest costs threaten. In this way, you end up saving where the greatest costs threaten.

Product Assurance in line with ECSS

My customer in Munich developed the deployable antenna system (LDRS) for the ESA mission “Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer” (CIMR).

For my customer, I was responsible during the preliminary design for safety analysis, cleanliness contamination control, fracture control, and critical items control, among other things.

At the end of the collaboration, the PA organization was ready for the PDR and qualification of the antenna system, the expanded PA team was operational, and the project team had grown in its capability to act.

Re-design of a cabin pressure management system

My customer redeveloped the cabin pressure control system for the commercial aircraft B737 MAX.

My task was to clarify the scope of verification in order to bring the system to certification safely and effectively within a tight schedule. In just a few months, I reviewed more than 2,500 requirements and assessed the validity of existing verification evidence from previous B737 versions for the B737 MAX.

At the end, my customer had clarity on the extent of verification required for the certification of the redeveloped system.

Establishment of a product assurance organization

My customer near Munich developed a deployable reflector (DRA) for the antenna system of the ESA mission ‘Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer’ (CIMR).

I was responsible for establishing a product assurance organization according to ECSS standards for the project. I introduced the necessary plans, processes, and structures, trained new employees in product assurance, and enabled the project team members to perform the required activities as per ECSS guidelines.

In the end, my customer had a functioning product assurance system. The project team had gained confidence and the ability to independently and successfully take the next steps.

Development of a cabin pressure management system

My customer developed a cabin pressure control system for the commercial aircraft MA-700.

During my engagement, I created the required technical specifications according to ARP4754A, developed the architecture and functional design, planned the verification, and analyzed and resolved any issues that arose.

At the end, my customer had a validated system design and was ready for the verification tests. A new systems engineer had been trained in the system and the processes, enabling my customer to achieve their goals independently once again.

Preparation of space test facility installation

My customer in Kazakhstan wanted to engage service providers to install, commission, and verify test facilities at the “SBIK” satellite integration and testing center in Astana.

As the interface to service providers in the EU and the USA, I developed the technical and organizational content for the contracts and coordinated these in detail with the service providers.

At the end of our collaboration, my customer had a structured and validated test and installation concept that was coordinated with the service providers. This enabled them to commission the service providers with the assurance that the risk of delays due to misunderstandings and ambiguities was minimized.

Let's bring your project on course of success.
