ARIEL Design, Development, Verification and Engineering Plan

This document serves as the master guide to the proposed plans for design and development of the ARIEL Payload. The required hardware model philosophy is analysed and suggested (will be definitively defined in later issues of the document) and the impacts on the required fidelity of the delivered subsystems are examined. This document also provides the framework for the design and verification methodologies to be used by the ARIEL team throughout the project lifecycle.
