MBSE for Two Student Space Robotics Projects
Model-Based Systems Engineering with Capella applied to hands-on student space robotics challenges.
Thursday, February 26th, 2026 | 9AM Paris (CET)
In this webinar, student teams from two aerospace projects explain how they used Capella and the Arcadia MBSE method to structure complex space robotics designs, improve collaboration and reduce risks under tight academic constraints. The session covers the Sydney Interplanetary Rover Initiative’s MBSE framework for a lunar rover and ISAE Supaero’s transition from spreadsheets to Capella to build both a rover and a drone within a year.
