Space Mission Operations

Course Description:

Space Mission Operations explores the challenge of designing and implementing sustainable mission support in a practical, cost-effective way. This course takes a functional approach to provide an in-depth view of the entirety of space mission operations.

This includes the concept of operations and all functions that are performed in support of a space mission. Interactive discussions focus on initial requirements definition, operations concept development, functional allocation among spacecraft, payload, ground system and operators. Constraints imposed by the space environment, orbital mechanics, communication architectures and other mission systems are also evaluated.

Participants gain extensive hands-on experience with a variety of mission operations modelling tools to understand physical constraints and appreciate the impact of programmatic trade-offs. Case studies of ongoing NASA, DoD and commercial missions are examined in detail.
