Abstract
Deep space probe is a complex system consisting of multiple subsystems (modules) with different functions and performances. Generally, these subsystems (modules) are completed under the cooperation of different teams of professionals. To ensure that the subsystems are coordinated and unified and the probe design satisfies requirements of explorations, the system design of the probe is required; namely, the design should be broken down level by level, top to bottom, and then iterated bottom to top for multiple times using systems engineering approaches. In addition, specific verifications should be conducted accordingly to gradually form a coordinated, well-matched design scheme that is optimal at system level and meets customers’ demands [1, 2].
