The figure above encompasses the overall system design of the mechanical and electronic layout, the electric distribution, and where data is being pulled from. The red arrow depicts the electrical flow and what components of the system are being powered, while the yellow arrows display the communication line of the electronic hardware of the system network.
Technical Objectives and Requirements
| Subsystems | Top Level Objectives | Top Level Requirement |
