Overview of the NASA System Architecture Task The generating of system architecture for a product or system is a widely understood and used process to describe all the elements that make up the complete product or system. Even though this is a widely used process system design can often be looked at from different perspectives with multiple ways to decompose or breakdown any given system. We are asking for your help in exploring the multiple ways to approach creating a decomposed architecture of a complex system. Help us by providing system architecture options for a robotic attachment mechanism (robotic arm) attached to a free flying robot that will fly aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

A draft of the full description of the task required is provided, on the Freelancer.com site, for your reference so you can understand what will be required if your registration is selected.
