This paper presents a case study on integrating Agile Systems Engineering methodologies in the preliminary design phase of satellite systems, focusing on the 3ColStar satellite mission. Through Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), technical consistency was rigorously managed across various architectural documents, ensuring coherency and minimizing errors. Furthermore, the preliminary design was developed, with the implementation of the Arcadia Method, supported by the Capella modeling tool. This allowed the digitalization of the system, which was represented by models that contain requirements, architecture, and interfaces between the different parts of the system. At the same time, the preliminary design process was streamlined and completed within an accelerated time frame of 4 months, with weekly sprints driving progress based on the scrum methodology. This case study highlights the effectiveness of Agile Systems Engineering principles to improve the team communication accuracy, communication, and efficiency of satellite systems preliminary design, providing valuable insights for future missions.
