             abstract = "Poorly written requirements are a common source of software 
                         defects. In application areas like space systems, the cost of 
                         malfunctioning software can be very high. This way, assessing the 
                         quality of software requirements before coding is of utmost 
                         importance. This work proposes a systematic procedure for 
                         assessing software requirements for space systems that adopt the 
                         European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) standards. 
                         The main goal is to provide a low-cost, easy-to-use benchmarking 
                         procedure that can be applied during the software requirements 
                         review to guarantee that the requirements specifications comply 
                         with the ECSS standards. The benchmark includes two checklists 
                         that are composed by a set of questions to be applied to the 
                         requirements specification. It was applied to the software 
                         requirements specification for one of the services described in 
                         the ECSS Packet Utilization Standard (PUS). Results show that the 
                         proposed benchmark allows finding more with a low effort.",
