Weltraum - Bernhard Bals Consulting

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.
