Risk Register for Nano-Microsatellite projects

File contains risk register created for Nano and micro satelite projects within the article Tailored Continuous Risk Management in Nanosatellite Space Project VZLUSAT-1 using FMECA. Risk register is created based on discussion with the VZLUSAT-1 team. The risk register is used to summarize all the findings of project risk assessment in the VZLUSAT microsatellite project. The categories discovered as worth exploring in any microsatellite project are the following: System design and construction - recommend launching FMECA on each subsystem of satellite and its potential failure modes – mainly including the on-board computer, communication, battery, storage, and orientation systems Finance – sufficient funding not only for manufacture and research of the satellite but especially for testing, launching an operation is truly a long-term project, the estimated cost of VZLUSAT is around 1 200 000 EUR (Veřtát, 2018) Personal – due to the innovative nature and problematic funding of the project, the true ownership and personal interest of team members requires a certain level of personal interest in the project to avoid burnout in any of the satellite project stages Managerial – as the project team consisted of members from various partner companies and universities, one must keep the communication and knowledge transfer challenges in mind and be ready to work with them Testing and certification – as the earth orbit is closely monitored by space agencies such as NASA and ESA, and microsatellites are launched on vehicles with additional payloads, various tests and certification must be completed prior to launch. The requirements should be deeply explored already in the design stage to prevent future problems. It is worth mentioning that as in other projects the positive part of risks should not be skipped and the opportunities should also be identified. They consist mostly of the prolonged mission period, cost savings and technological advancements. The risk register was constructed as part of continuous risk management effort after the satellite launch with the team member still involved in the project. Due to lack of personnel and finance the risk register is limited and will be later extended as part of VZLUSAT-2 project. The system design and construction part of the risk register was conducted based on the FMECA, the managerial, personal and finance risks were added to the risk register as part of team brainstorming workshop outcomes.

本文件包含为《使用失效模式与影响分析（FMECA）开展定制化持续风险管理的纳卫星（nanosatellite）空间项目VZLUSAT-1》一文所涉及的纳卫星与微卫星（microsatellite）项目编制的风险登记册。该风险登记册基于与VZLUSAT-1项目团队的研讨成果编制，用于汇总VZLUSAT微卫星项目的全部项目风险评估结果。
可在任意微卫星项目中值得探究的风险类别如下：
系统设计与建造：建议对卫星各子系统开展失效模式与影响分析（FMECA），重点覆盖星载计算机、通信系统、电源电池、存储系统与姿态控制系统。
财务管理：需保障充足资金，不仅覆盖卫星的研发与制造环节，更需满足测试、发射与在轨运行的开支——本项目属于典型长期工程，VZLUSAT项目的预估总成本约为120万欧元（Veřtát, 2018）。
人员管理：鉴于本项目兼具创新性与融资困境，需明确团队成员的权责归属与投入意愿，以避免项目各阶段出现人员倦怠问题。
项目管理：因项目团队由多家合作企业与高校的成员组成，需重点关注跨主体沟通与知识转移层面的挑战，并提前做好应对预案。
测试与认证：考虑到美国国家航空航天局（NASA，National Aeronautics and Space Administration）、欧洲空间局（ESA，European Space Agency）等航天机构对地球轨道的严密监测，且微卫星通常搭载于搭载其他有效载荷的运载火箭上发射，因此需在发射前完成各类测试与认证流程。相关要求需在设计阶段即深入论证，以规避后续潜在问题。
需特别说明的是，与其他项目一致，本风险登记册不应忽略正向风险，需同步识别项目机遇，此类机遇主要包括延长任务周期、节约成本与技术迭代升级。
本风险登记册作为持续风险管理工作的一部分，在卫星发射后由仍参与项目的团队成员编制完成。由于人员与资金资源有限，当前风险登记册内容有限，后续将作为VZLUSAT-2项目的一部分进行扩展完善。本风险登记册中的系统设计与建造类风险基于失效模式与影响分析（FMECA）结果梳理，管理、人员与财务类风险则源自项目团队头脑风暴工作坊的研讨成果。
