Space Operations: Mission Management, Technologies, and Current Applications


Add your own review!

Overview

"A total of 280 papers were presented and discussed in 76 subject-oriented sessions during the eighth biennial SpaceOps Symposium in June 2006. The Symposium was hosted by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) in Rome, with high international participation. The SpaceOps Executive Committee and AIAA decided to publish a selection of papers representing the major fields of interest to today's world space-operations community. This volume, """"Space Operations: Mission Management, Technologies, and Current Applications"""", is the result of that decision.The selection of 36 reviewed and updated papers published in this book was driven by their quality and relevance to the space operations community. The selected papers represent a cross section of three main subject areas: Spacecraft Operations covers the preparation and implementation of all activities to operate a space vehicle (manned and unmanned) under normal, non-nominal, and emergency conditions. Ground Operations covers the preparation, qualification, and operations of a mission-dedicated ground segment and appropriate infrastructure including antennas, control centers, and communication means and interfaces.Management covers all management tasks for preparing and operating a particular mission."

Author Information

Loredana Bruca started her career in communication and information technology after a short period as a research scientist at the Universita degli Studi di Catania and the Universita degli Studi di Trieste. In 1990, Ms. Bruca joined Telespazio S.p.A. where she began working on space-related projects as a project manager for Ground Control Systems development and operations. In 2001 she joined the Italian Space Agency where she currently works in the Ground Segment and Operational Sites department and is involved in the management of activities for ground systems technologies and in-orbit operations. She is also the ASI delegate's to a number of international committees and boards focused on developing space communications standards and cooperation for development and operation of space data systems (e.g. CCSDS, IOAG, SpaceOps, SFCG). Ms. Bruca holds a degree in Physics from the Universita degli Studi di Catania and a Masters in Astrophysics from the International School for Advanced Studies of Trieste. Trevor Sorensen is a professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and a project manager in the Hawaii Space Flight Laboratory. His expertise is in astronautics, including space system design, space mission operations, spacecraft autonomy, astrodynamics, satellite remote sensing, lunar missions, computer applications, and spacecraft ground segment. He worked in Mission Control as an assistant to the NASA flight directors for the early shuttle flights. In 1994, Sorensen was the Lunar Mission Manager for the DoD/NASA Clementine mission for which he received the NASA Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement. Other missions he worked on include Pioneer Venus, LACE, and MSTI-3. He was the principal architect of DaraLynx, Honeywell_s global satellite tracking and control system. He is an Associate Fellow of AIAA, a Fellow of the American Astronautical Society, and a member (and former chair) of the AIAA Space Operations and Support Technical Committee. He holds B.S., M.S., and D.E. degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Kansas. J. Paul Douglas began his career as a spacecraft analyst on the Advanced Composition Explorer mission flown from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and is currently a navigator for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite program operated by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He also serves as Editor-in-Chief for the Space Operations Communicator journal, published jointly by the AIAA Space Operations and Support Technical Committee and the SpaceOps Committee.
