The kernel of design, architecture and implementation of the CHAMP-
Information System and Data Center (CHAMP-ISDC) will be used for
new state-of-the-art  ISDCs for new (LEO) satellite missions. A major
precondition for the realization of that ambitions aim is a component
based architecture of the ISDC application, generated by an user driven
object-oriented software live cycle. The whole system development process from
the user requirements analyse via the generating of a component based
software architecture towards to the implementation of prototyps and the
finished system is presented.
