Responsibilities

Develop Recommended Operator Procedures (ROPs) that aim to capture what the capability is, the sequence of system actions, associated commands/telemetry, system constraints, and expected vehicle responses. This includes areas as command/control of on-orbit satellites, contingency scenarios, satellite maneuvers, mission planning by working with program SMEs and IPTs
Develop detailed end to end operator procedures (OP) that detail out the specific operator actions needed to execute the specific mission capability using the ground software
Translate manual steps from ROP/OPs into reusable python scripts that will be executed during mission operations. These scripts reduce operator workload while performing the expected mission functionality
Test developed OPs/Scripts on test assets using the ground software to crosscheck for expected SV functionality and validation of procedure process - this includes a feedback loop to update OP/script with testing results
Support and participate in Mission Dry Runs and Mission Rehearsals. These rehearsals include executing previously develop Mission operation products (ROP/OP/scripts) and validating them in flight-like configurations/scenarios
Future opportunities to conduct/support specific real time spacecraft flight operations during early mission operations
Assist with configuration management and packaging of scripts for testing, rehearsals, and eventually launch readiness
Opportunities for stretch assignments working on various Mission Operations activities: contract deliverables, participating in working groups, on-orbit test planning, and development of mission timeline
