             abstract = "Every satellite project needs to take into account all the 
                         concerns im-posed to its interface to a real launcher vehicle, as 
                         it is the main inter-face of the satellite to the outer world 
                         during its launch lifecycle phase. This interface generates 
                         constraints that the satellite needs to comply. In this work a 
                         Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach is tak-en to 
                         define a reference model to this interface which is later on 
                         instan-tiated to a CubeSat mission as a case study. MBSE is an 
                         emerging tech-nology that provides many advantages to the 
                         classical and document-oriented Systems Engineering (SE) process. 
                         One advantage to this ap-proach is solving the integration problem 
                         that each one of the individual systems domain disciplines have in 
                         the variety of their own well-established modelling methods and 
                         tools to support design, analysis, verification and validation. 
                         Since these disciplines are not, a priori, well connected, data 
                         exchange and sharing may become cumbersome. This is where MBSE 
                         comes into place as it primarily models the whole system from a 
                         holistic problem point-of-view. MBSE can support tools for early 
                         system verification and validation and can provide means to 
                         simulate and execute many parts or the whole system. Models are 
                         here written in SysML (Systems Modeling Language) which is a 
                         general-purpose graph-ical modeling language for specifying, 
                         analyzing, designing, and verify-ing complex systems that may 
                         include hardware, software, information, personnel, procedures, 
                         and facilities and can model systems architecture and behavior. 
                         Finally, this paper shows how the launcher-satellite inter-face 
                         reference model is effectively used during a launch lifecycle 
                         Sys-tems Engineering (SE) process, how it supports many Systems 
                         Engineering (SE) processes and how it meets the constraints 
                         imposed to a Cu-beSat project taken as a satellite case study.",
