Space mission documentation guide

A guide I made for writing space-mission documentation, with the finished PDF and editable LaTeX source.

Space systems engineering documentation concept

Purpose

Organizing space-mission requirements and design decisions.

Technical documentation should let a reviewer follow the chain from mission objective to requirement, architecture, analysis, verification evidence, and residual risk. I assembled this guide from the structures I found most useful while working on student space-systems projects.

The editable LaTeX source is included so others can adapt the structure instead of starting with a blank page.
