The Preliminary Design Review (PDR) will be hosted at Western University on 10-11 October 2019. PDR documents are to be submitted to CSA by 13 September 2019.

Objectives of Preliminary Design Review

• Verify system and subsystem-level requirements to ensure that they are properly allocated with a verification and validation plan; ensure that flow down of functional and performance requirements are able to meet the objectives of the proposed mission, as well as conformance with safety requirements and standards established by NanoRacks and the CCP Design Specification documents.
• Assess proposed hardware components for each subsystem.
• Preliminary designs and analyses of a 2U/3U mechanical bus (chassis) showing a detailed layout including all subsystems
• Preliminary design of the electrical and power system, cabling/harnesses, grounding diagram, attitude control system configuration and control strategy, RF communications, and flight software development approach
• Advanced design of the payload (mechanical, electrical) including detailed ICD and requirements
• Preliminary design of the ground segment
• Preliminary AIT plan with test specifications and a draft mission operations plan;
• Pathway forward to CDR: updated schedule, budget and programmatic risks.
• Propose a flatsat model and preliminary design development of the Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) and the Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE)
