The team have been through the N-Prize rules to create a formal and categorised set of the main requirements that must be met for the SSO prize. For this project they have managed to get the rules on a page as a UML requirements diagram. We would perhaps term this main set of requirements "Key User Requirements". There are others, but this is the critical set which will drive our concepts, analysis and design.

The requirements have been categorised as follows: Performance Requirements, Structural Requirements, Functional Requirements and Financial Requirements.
Points to note:
(1) There aren't many requirements compared to our usual projects....
(2) Functional requirements are minimal - probably leading to a transponder + power source.
(3) Launch equipment rules and costs maybe key to any chance of achieving this successfully = keep the costs on the ground.
This one pager requirements analysis will help focus our minds as we think about solution concepts. Each concept will potentially have derived requirements based on the analysis which may be concept specific.
