3
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:12,230
I'm in charge of developing requirements and the design

4
00:00:12,250 --> 00:00:16,240
and the implementation and tests of the flight software. During the

5
00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:20,260
early phase of the mission, part of our challenge is to gather requirements

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,290
from the guidance navagation control, from the thermal subsystems, from the power subsystems

7
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:28,320
and then as the mission goes forward, we are then during

8
00:00:28,340 --> 00:00:32,330
intergration and test of the spacecraft it gets even more challenging 'cause now we're...

9
00:00:32,350 --> 00:00:36,350
we simulate things in our flight software lab. So we only

10
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:40,390
can verify as much as the simulation allows us to.

11
00:00:40,410 --> 00:00:44,420
Then when we get to the real spacecraft and flat sat, that's when the rubber kinda hits the road.

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,450
After we ship we're going to run a comprehensive performance test in Tanegashima.

13
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:52,570
and then we'll re-run it here at Goddard so we can verify that everything preforms

14
00:00:52,590 --> 00:00:56,600
as expected before and after and that certainly has an element of

15
00:00:56,620 --> 00:01:00,640
excitement, and it is for me too. It's very neat to work on an international project.
