Reliability analysis of an Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) through the RAMSAS method

摘要

Reliability analysis of modern large-scale systems is a challenging task which could benefit from the jointly exploitation of recent model-based approaches and simulation techniques to flexibly evaluate the system reliability performances and compare different design choices. In this context, RAMSAS, a model-based method which supports the reliability analysis of systems through simulation by combining the benefits of popular OMG modeling languages with wide adopted simulation and analysis environments, has been recently proposed. This paper shows the effectiveness of RAMSAS through a real case study concerning the reliability analysis of an Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) of a satellite.
