About SpaceOps 2023

SpaceOps 2023 is a unique opportunity to meet east and west world-class scientists, practitioners, engineers and leaders in space industry to discuss the hot research topics and state-of-the-art technologies and innovations in the space sector. All of this and more are present in this event organized by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC).

This international forum is a valuable opportunity for our distinguished delegates to explore all aspects of space mission operations, including areas such as robotics, human, earth-orbiting, and deep space aspects of space operations. It also allows them to learn about the latest technologies and opportunities in this sector, and how advanced space technologies can contribute to finding solutions for the future of humanity.

SpaceOps Organization

The International Committee on Technical Interchange for Space Mission Operations and Ground Data Systems (also referred to as the SpaceOps Organization) was formed in the realization that given the large number of people involved in space mission operations, an organized community or technical forum is needed. Since mission operations have become an increasingly large segment of space agency budgets, there is great interest in improving the capabilities and cost efficiencies of mission operations. It was in the spirit of providing the broadest possible managerial and technical interchange between space agencies, academia, and industry that SpaceOps was established. As the premier organization serving the space operations community, SpaceOps encompasses the following areas:

  • * Operations-enabling technology in ground and flight systems
  • * Operations management
  • * Mission planning
  • * Mission management
  • * Cross support and interoperability
  • * Launch operations
  • * Spaceflight operations
