## 6 Conclusions  
In summary, in this paper we described our experience of integrating Agile Systems Engineering principles, the Arcadia methodology, and the Capella tool in the preliminary design of the \({}^{3}\)ColStar satellite mission. With the presented approach, we were able to expedite the design process and enhance the accuracy, communication, and efficiency of mission development, setting a precedent for future CubeSat missions and beyond. It is worth noting that we did not conduct a comparative study of the presented approach versus a traditional one because of budget constraints and the burden of having two different teams working with different approaches. However, future work could be devoted to have more evidence regarding the implications of using Agile methods for space systems engineering.  
Limitations and Future Work: We acknowledge that our study primarily focused on the integration of Agile methodologies with the V-Model framework. A comprehensive comparison with the Spiral Model and other iterative approaches was beyond the scope of this paper but is a valuable area for future research. We plan to explore and document these comparisons in our future work to provide a more holistic understanding of the benefits and limitations of various systems engineering methodologies.
