Foreword
This document (EN 16601-00-01:2015) has been prepared by Technical
Committee CEN/CLC/TC 5 “Space”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This standard (EN 16601-00-01:2015) originates from ECSS-S-ST-00-01C.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either
by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2015,
and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2015.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document
may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held
responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
This document supersedes EN 13701-2001.
This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has
therefore precedence over any EN covering the same scope but with a wider
domain of applicability (e.g. : aerospace).
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards
organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European
Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United
Kingdom.
Scope
This document controls the definition of all common terms used in the
European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) Standards System.
Terms specific to a particular ECSS Standard are defined in that standard.
This document does not include the definition of terms used with their common
meaning. In this case, the definition from the Oxford English Dictionary
applies.
Terms, definitions and abbreviated terms
2.1 Terms and definitions
When using the ECSS standards, the following is the order of precedence of
documents as the source of definition of terms:
1. the standard in question
2. the present Glossary of terms
3. the Oxford English dictionary.
A term used within a definition, which is defined elsewhere in this document is
shown in boldface. A boldface term may be replaced within the definition by its
own definition.
A concept that has a special meaning in a particular context is indicated by
designating the context in angle brackets, < >, before the definition.
A document reference shown after a definition in square brackets, [ ], indicates
that this definition is reproduced from the referenced document.
NOTE For example:
2.3.17 auditee
organization being audited
[ISO 9000:2005]
All terms and their definitions appear in alphabetic order in clause 2.3 of this
Glossary. However, wherever it is considered important to present together a
set of terms that are interrelated (i.e. constitute a particular “view”), these terms
and their definitions are repeated in standalone sections of this Glossary or in
Annexes. For example, clause 2.2 collects together all terms that relate to the
breakdown of the overall Space System.
2.2 Space system breakdown
2.2.1 Introduction
ECSS-S-ST-00C defines the highest-level system within a space project – i.e. the
one at the mission-level - as the “Space System”. The purpose of the present
clause is to identify the breakdown of a typical space system and to define a set of
standard terms for the constituent levels within the breakdown (see Figure 2-1).
In so doing, it is acknowledged that each distinct domain (i.e. space, ground
and launcher) already has its own domain-specific terminology for its internal
entities e.g. elements and systems. In the case of the launcher domain, this
terminology has been formally defined and agreed at programme-level. It is not
the intention to define new terms in this Glossary to supersede those already in
universal use. Rather, the intention is to define a standard set of terms for the
levels of the space system breakdown and then to show where the domain-
specific entities fit into these levels. To this end, Annex B contains examples of
entities from the three principal space system segments, mapped to the space
system breakdown levels defined below.
The terms are defined in clause 2.2.2 to 2.2.7 and are listed not in alphabetic
order but according to the hierarchy defined in Figure 2-1: Space system
breakdown below.
• 2.2.2 defines generic terms
• 2.2.3 defines the space system
• 2.2.4 defines terms relating to the space segment
• 2.2.5 defines terms relating to the ground segment
• 2.2.6 defines terms relating to the launch segment
• 2.2.7 defines terms relating to the support segment

2.2.2 Definitions for generic terms
system
set of interrelated or interacting functions constituted to achieve a specified
objective
segment
set of elements or combination of systems that fulfils a major, self-contained,
subset of the space mission objectives
Examples are space segment, ground segment, launch segment and support
segment.
element
combination of integrated equipment, components and parts
NOTE An element fulfils a major, self-contained, subset of
a segment's objectives.
subsystem
part of a system fulfilling one or more of its functions
equipment
integrated set of parts and components
NOTE 1 An equipment accomplishes a specific function.
NOTE 2 An equipment is self-contained and classified as
such for the purposes of separate manufacture,
procurement, drawings, specification, storage,
issue, maintenance or use.
NOTE 3 The term "unit" is synonymous with the term
"equipment"
component
set of materials, assembled according to defined and controlled processes,
which cannot be disassembled without destroying its capability and which
performs a simple function that can be evaluated against expected
performance requirements
NOTE 1 The term "part" is synonymous.
NOTE 2 The term "part" is preferred when referring to
purely mechanical devices.
NOTE 3 The term "component" is preferred for EEE
devices.
part
see "component"
material
raw, semi–finished or finished substance (gaseous, liquid, solid) of given
characteristics from which processing into a component or part is undertaken
2.2.3 Definitions for space system

space segment system
system within a space segment

service module.
NOTE 2 Examples are given in Annex B.1.
stand-alone space segment element
space segment element that performs its mission autonomously
NOTE For example: satellite, rover, lander.
embedded space segment element
space segment element that performs its mission as part of another space
segment element
NOTE For example: platform, module, instrument,
payload.
space segment subsystem
subsystem within a space segment
NOTE Examples are given in Annex B.1.
space segment equipment
equipment within a space segment
NOTE Examples are given in Annex B.1.
2.2.5 Definitions for ground segment
ground segment
part of a space system, located on ground, which monitors and controls space
segment element(s)
NOTE A ground segment is composed of one or more
ground segment elements.
ground segment system
system within a ground segment
NOTE Examples are given in Annex B.2.
ground segment element
element within a ground segment
NOTE 1 A ground segment element can be composed of
several ground segment elements, e.g. a ground
station network is a ground segment element that
can be composed of a set of ground stations and a
communication network.
NOTE 2 Examples are given in Annex B.2.
ground segment subsystem
subsystem within a ground segment
NOTE Examples are given in Annex B.2.
ground segment equipment
equipment within a ground segment
