ECSS-E60 CONTROL ENGINEERING STANDARDISATION

RESUME The ECSS-E60 "Control Engineering Standard" is the basic standard defining the top level requirements for control engineering for space applications. It has been established by the corresponding ECSS-E60 working group with members of space agencies and space industry and has been published in 2004. Two new standards, the “Control Performance Specification Standard” (ECSS-E60-01), which is based on the "ESA Pointing Error Handbook" (Dungate D. G., 1993, and the “Star Sensor Specification Standard” (ECSS-E60-02), are currently established. The paper also addresses the cooperation with the ESA internal control engineering standardisation.
