SYSTEMS ENGINEERING & INTEGRATION
Our high-end Systems Engineering and Integration solutions and capabilities deliver reliable and innovative approaches to meet our customers’ multifaceted requirements. Seeing the space system as a whole, Barrios covers all aspects of systems engineering such as requirements development, analysis, concepts of operation, trades and studies, modeling, integration, verification, validation, testing, and documentation.
By incorporating needs and requirements, we design the architecture of a system, define its building strategy, and oversee the integration of subsystems, as well as the verification and validation of the overall system.
This expertise enables us to reliably perform mission-critical responsibilities in the disciplines of Avionics | Electrical Power Systems | Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) | Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) | Human Factors | Mechanical | Robotics and Thermal.
MODEL-BASED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
The workings of a space mission are increasingly complex and full of exceptions and dependencies. This makes model-based systems engineering ideal as it reduces documentation, makes data more accessible, and ensures digital continuity throughout the lifecycle of a space mission, across disciplines and throughout supply chains. The transition to digitization and model-based systems engineering are key enablers to increasing in-orbit demonstration and verification efficiencies.
REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT
Our engineers leverage their knowledge to overcome the complexity and interdependencies of systems to streamline development and accelerate deployment. We define, document, trace, verify, and validate requirements with discipline and rigor providing our customers with realistic and comprehensive system requirements.
Our strong requirements management plans are critical to success and enable our teams to control the scope and direct the development lifecycle, using tools that assist in reducing costs and improve quality control.
COMPLEX VEHICLE AND SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Barrios’ skilled engineers apply critical analysis skills and techniques to complex problems such as vehicle mass properties, vibration analysis, thrust analysis, stress, fracture mechanics, thermal, high-fidelity dynamic models, mission timelines, proximity operations, and human factors.
ADVANCED HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE DESIGN
We design systems hardware and software such as thermal protection, communications, automated systems, autonomous operations including rendezvous and docking, advanced designs, and tools integral to onboard space vehicles.
SYSTEMS AND SPACE VEHICLE INTEGRATION
Barrios provides manifest analysis and coordination for all vehicles transporting items to the International Space Station (ISS), which includes visiting vehicles as well as commercial space vehicles from the US, Russia, Japan or Europe.
SIMULATIONS & TESTING
Barrios develops and provides simulations for space missions including avionics. Our engineers develop criteria and plans for hardware testing as well as provide test operations, management, and oversight expertise.
MMOD DAMAGE RISK ASSESSMENT & PROTECTION
Using NASA’s BUMPR analysis software, our engineers provide expertise in modeling the ability of space craft and systems to withstand Micro Meteoroid Orbital Debris (MMOD) impacts and supply this data to government and commercial space vehicle providers. Our experience also includes hypervelocity impact testing.
ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY
As aerospace robotics technology evolves, Barrios engineers are one step ahead as they provide research, engineering, development, integration, and application of robotic hardware and software technologies for specific flight and ground robotic system applications, such as Robonaut 2, ISS Mobile Servicing System, and the Remote Manipulator System.
LABORATORY & FACILITY MANAGEMENT
Barrios operates and manages the Class 100 laboratory as a clean room facility, which our scientists and engineers developed the requirements for and oversaw the build of. Here we curate samples of returned space materials and support to a Class 1000 cleanroom for our customers. In addition, our technicians provide laboratory support for Space Life Sciences.
ASTROMATERIALS SCIENCE
Barrios’ scientists are an integral part of the study of planetary and interstellar materials, extending our knowledge toward future space exploration.
