“…Preliminary system design cares about initial and toplevel modeling which are closely connected with user needs. Cubesat models were developed using MBSE in [11]- [13]. Additionally, Cubesat SysML models for specific missions such as the Radio Aurora Explorer (RAX) [14] have been designed.…”

The risk of failure for aerospace missions can be reduced if architects model the product in a systematic way and make decisions for physical implementation based on stakeholder needs. Satellite communication system architecting should take one of its dominating elements, the communication satellite, into account for consistent modeling during the whole product lifecycle. Model-based system engineering (MBSE) serves as a useful tool for system modeling activities and connections with manufacturing. In this paper, satellite communication system architecting is investigated in the preliminary design stage via MBSE methodologies and the system modeling language (SysML). Application scenarios and use cases are built up aiming at satisfying stakeholder needs. System black-box analysis and white-box logical decomposition are further realized. The logical architecture is then partitioned for physical implementation and system optimization is carried out to give architecting suggestions. Requirement traceability is examined to finish the current design stage. The models realized by the MBSE method are reusable and easily extendible to detailed system design and implementation in the whole product lifecycle.

“…Space projects have been taking advantage of MBSE such as the ExoMars mission, Euclid, Galileo, and nanosatellite programs [18][19][20]. CubeSat projects have also been using MBSE and have shown to "hold promise of reducing the burden of system engineering tasks" [21] and can "promote uniformity and consistency across future CubeSat models" [21]. These attributes are important to reduce workload among team members and to facilitate new team members as they join future projects.…”

The SeaLion mission architecture team sought to create a model-based systems engineering approach to assist improving CubeSat success rates as well as for the SeaLion CubeSat project to guide an implementation for the flight software. This is important because university CubeSat teams are growing in number but often have untrained students as their core personnel. This was done using a document-as-code, or docs-as-code, approach. With this the team created tools for the systems architecture with the Mach 30 Modeling Language to create an architecture that is easy to learn and use even for newly admitted team members with little to no training. These tools generate documents via its own code for easy presentation on a local file system without any proprietary software while keeping the model content format-agnostic.

An observed increase in systems scale and complexity has led to a significant momentum in exploring, identifying, and adopting model based systems engineering (MBSE) tools and techniques amongst research communities and industry practitioners. Several attempts to transform systems design and engineering practices through the use of MBSE in academia and industry has led to a considerable increase in the number of articles published containing the keyword "MBSE." This growth serves as the motivation in this paper to explore the MBSE landscape with the help of text mining techniques to identify the most often used key terms, tools, and languages, in the context of research in MBSE and the thematic aspects defining the use of MBSE by researchers and practitioners. The objective of this paper is to provide a structured comprehensive overview of research contributions across the MBSE landscape by employing text mining techniques for: (a) identifying the concepts and methodologies inferred upon in relation to MBSE, and (b) classifying the literature published to identify commonalities across academic researchers and practitioners using MBSE tools and methods.For this purpose, the abstracts of 2380 relevant articles published in the period of the last two decades from five different databases are mined. It is found that the terms "SysML," "Cyber Physical Systems," and "Production" are the most used terms among researchers across the MBSE landscape with SysML being the most widely used modeling language. Further, six major thematic topics are identified that classify articles from over the last two decades with an increasing interest observed in the use of MBSE to support manufacturing and production engineering activities, especially in the cyber physical systems domain. The contributions of this paper provide a leeway on using text mining techniques to understand the research directions that are currently of interest in the field of MBSE and thereby identify potential future research directions.
