Abstract

The military use of space brings interesting challenges for both technology and operational aspects. The Netherlands armed forces are a small player within the military world. However, in 2013 the beginning of a space program was started by the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF). One of the key mission statements
stated: “show the military relevance of Nano Satellites". A feasibility study was conducted and the realisation of the first satellite, the BRIK-II,was started. One of the payloads of this satellite is a store and forward system. In this thesis work a systems engineering approach towards, requirements definition, design, verification and testing is provided.
