3
00:00:08.070 --> 00:00:12.230
I'm in charge of developing requirements and the design

4
00:00:12.250 --> 00:00:16.240
and the implementation and tests of the flight software. During the

5
00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:20.260
early phase of the mission, part of our challenge is to gather requirements

6
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:24.290
from the guidance navagation control, from the thermal subsystems, from the power subsystems

7
00:00:24.310 --> 00:00:28.320
and then as the mission goes forward, we are then during

8
00:00:28.340 --> 00:00:32.330
intergration and test of the spacecraft it gets even more challenging 'cause now we're...

9
00:00:32.350 --> 00:00:36.350
we simulate things in our flight software lab. So we only

10
00:00:36.370 --> 00:00:40.390
can verify as much as the simulation allows us to.

11
00:00:40.410 --> 00:00:44.420
Then when we get to the real spacecraft and flat sat, that's when the rubber kinda hits the road.

12
00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:48.450
After we ship we're going to run a comprehensive performance test in Tanegashima.

13
00:00:48.470 --> 00:00:52.570
and then we'll re-run it here at Goddard so we can verify that everything preforms

14
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:56.600
as expected before and after and that certainly has an element of

15
00:00:56.620 --> 00:01:00.640
excitement, and it is for me too. It's very neat to work on an international project.
