Hello everyone, I’m pleased to invite you to our upcoming Capella webinar, “MBSE for Two Student Space Robotics Projects,” taking place on Thursday, February 26, 2026 · 9:00 a.m. Paris (GMT 1:00).
Student space robotics projects, such as lunar rovers, involve significant complexity in design, integration, and project management. When requirements, interfaces, and risks are spread across multiple spreadsheets, defects become harder to detect and system understanding difficult to share.
This webinar will showcase how student teams working on two different space projects quickly got started with Capella to apply MBSE and Arcadia, structure complex systems, improve collaboration, and reduce design risks under tight academic constraints.
Implementation of MBSE In A Student-Led Lunar Rover Team presented by Kaylee Li and Aruk Pavalachandran (Sydney Interplanetary Rover Initiative)
This talk presents the use of Model-Based Systems Engineering with the Arcadia method within SIRI, a multidisciplinary student-led team. Using Capella and SysML-based modeling, the rover system is developed across Arcadia’s four phases: Operational Analysis, System Analysis, Logical Architecture, and Physical Architecture. This structured approach supports requirement traceability, clarifies subsystem interactions, improves design consistency, and reduces design conflicts, leading to a smoother assembly, integration, and testing phase. The result is an Arcadia-driven MBSE framework that can be transferred to other student-led aerospace projects.
From Spreadsheets to Capella: How a Student Team Built a Rover and a Drone in One Year presented by Andreea Lita (ISAE Supaero)
This session presents how a novice student team from ISAE Supaero adopted Capella within a single academic year to structure the development of both a rover and a drone for the European Rover Challenge. By mapping project rules and design activities across Capella’s Operational, System, Logical, and Physical layers, the team identified design gaps well before hardware freeze, shortened decision cycles, and enabled clear walkthroughs for both technical and non-technical audiences, despite the absence of dedicated systems engineering support. This experience shows that Capella can also act as an accessible backbone for student teams operating under tight budgets and timelines.
