Starsat: A space astronomy facility

Preliminary design and analyses of a versatile telescope for Spacelab missions are presented. The system is an all-reflective Korsch three-mirror telescope with excellent performance characteristics over a wide field and a broad spectral range, making it particularly suited for ultraviolet observations. The system concept is evolved around the utilization of existing hardware and designs which were developed for other astronomy space projects

Rule-Based COTS Integration

Component-based software development is considered to be a promising technology to increase software development productivity. However, developing componentbased applications faces different challenges. One of them is identifying component ensembles that satisfy any particular system requirements specification. In this paper we introduce a component integration evaluation based on software engineering integration rules. These rules represent real-world experiences and are combined into knowledge base. These representative rules evaluate compatibility among components according to their attributes of component specification
