Specification Tree
The spacecraft system specification defines also the subsystems of the spacecraft e.g.:
- Structure
- Data management subsystem incl. software
- Electrical Power
- Mechanical
- etc.
For each subsystem a subsystem specification is prepared by the Prime Contractor with the same specification structure shown above including references to the parent paragraph in the system specification. In the same way the subsystem contractor prepares an assembly or unit specification. All these specifications are listed in a so-called specification tree showing all specifications and their linkage as well as the issue / date of each specification.

Famous quotes containing the word tree:
“The wind flapped loose, the wind was still,
Shaken out dead from tree and hill:
I had walked on at the wind’s will,—
I sat now, for the wind was still.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
