Abstract
This paper outlines the difficulties of building an integrated multi-mission operations center for Georgia Institute of Technology’s Space Systems Design Lab (SSDL) and provides recommendations for future growth. The two main categories to address are human and technical factors. For human factors, changes in documentation and social structure are proposed to reduce the loss of knowledge as students graduate, and changes to onboarding and networking are proposed to quicken student growth. On the technical side, Ground Data Systems (GDS) and cybersecurity optimizations can be adapted to work on multiple missions. Also, from previous work on Lunar Flashlight and VISORS, general lessons learned in each catagory can improve the MOC workflow. The SSDL has had great success in Mission Ops and has the potential to transition into multi-mission operations.
