Introduction to Systems Engineering and Model-Based SE | Case Study Hubble | Purdue University
Delve into a real case study with Purdue University's Visiting Assistant Professor in Engineering, Ali Raz. In this video, we discuss the design, launch, and servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), an iconic piece of astronomical equipment that has captured stunning images of the universe since its launch in 1999. Despite an initial hiccup with the principal mirror, the HST has remained an invaluable resource in studying the cosmos. Professor Raz walks us through the complex internal components of HST such as the Wide Field Camera, Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, and various others, explaining their specific roles. He also details the repair missions launched to correct issues and update equipment. This case study offers fascinating insights into systems engineering in action.
