Abstract

To design a manned spacecraft carrying one to two crews to the low Earth orbits, design phases should be completed in various levels. It also needs to gather manned spacecrafts technical data which is developed in the same category. In the system design algorithm presented in this paper, the conceptual design sequences of a manned spacecraft named Dousti is accomplished systematically.
First of all, in accordance with a target group of manned spacecrafts’ mission, Dousti’s mission profile is defined and system level requirements are recognized. User’s requirements are also considered in the mission profile and subsequently in system level requirements.
General characteristics of Dousti spacecraft as well as its mass and dimensional features are derived in the next step. Statistics and parametric models are systematically applied in design sequence. Then, final characteristics of the spacecraft’s main subsystems designed through engineering methods and applying parametric models are introduced.
Afterwards, resulting characteristics of the spacecraft are traded off to reform and then validated by statistics and parametric models to present the final plan.
