Abstract: Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), a model-centric framework for managing complex aerospace missions, emphasises improved traceability, early fault detection, and multidisciplinary integration. This review examines key MBSE tools such as MagicDraw, IBM Rhapsody, and Capella, along with the core modelling strategies?requirements, structural, and behavioural. Applications in avionics, spacecraft design, and autonomous systems are explored, highlighting MBSE?s advantage over traditional engineering methods. Challenges, including steep learning curves and interoperability issues, are also addressed. The paper identifies gaps in current MBSE research and suggests future directions in agile integration and digital twin development.

Keywords: Aerospace Mission Planning, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), SysML, MBSE Tools, Engineering System Integration
