The Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) is the European Space Agency main assessment center for future space missions and industrial review. Located at ESTEC, ESA's technical center in Noordwijk in The Netherlands, it has been operational since early 2000. As suggested by its name, the CDF uses concurrent engineering methodology to perform effective, fast and cheap space mission studies. Equipped with a state-of-the-art network of computers, multimedia devices and software tools, the CDF allow team of experts to perform design studies during working sessions. ==Activities== The CDF is mainly in charge of performing the assessment studies of future missions for the European Space Agency. These assessment studies are phase 0 or pre-phase A studies where the needs are identified and Mission Analysis is performed. Phase 0 allows the following:〔ECSS–M–30A http://www.ecss.nl/〕 *Identification and characterisation of the intended mission. *Expression in terms of needs, expected performance and dependability and safety goals. *Assessment of operating constraints, in particular as regards the physical and operational environment. *Identification of possible system concepts, with emphasis on the degree of innovation and any critical aspect. *Preliminary assessment of project management data (organisation, costs, schedules). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Concurrent Design Facility」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
