International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / As we adopt and implement the doctrines of reengineering, we at NASA/Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL) are asked to make a giant leap in how we think of and design
SpaceCraft. We call what we are doing a revolution, since we are not “evolving” to the
next step in our activity, but literally leaping beyond it. This is fully in concert with the
concepts of reengineering, in that areas that need to be changed are indeed literally
invented anew.
To be successful, JPL and its industry partners, must perfect processes, techniques and
methods that allow them to work together at all levels of the SpaceCraft development
cycle. If all other parts of the discipline have moved on and changed, but a key portion
remains locked in a time warp of yesterday, we will not be able to reach our desired goal.
At the present time change is occurring all over JPL, and it is our intent to describe how it
applies to areas where prototype, or one of a kind hardware are fabricated, and how these
areas might look when new approaches to doing business are applied.
Since all activities in an organization must attain similar levels of expertise or be in danger
of hampering the entire process, the issues of Packaging Engineering, Manufactureability,
and fabrication become key items.
