End-to-End Lunar Mission Services
MISSION OPERATIONS
Our team of experienced Payload Integration Managers and Payload Operators is ready to support you from detailing your payload CONOPS to actual payload operations support during the lunar rover mission.
With over 25 years of ISS payload experience, we ensure reliable execution and near-real-time access to your payload via our proprietary MCS software (Yamcs). Customers also have access to dedicated workspace at our Mission Control Centre during lunar operations.
ENGINEERING SUPPORT
As the payload developer, customers have the choice of how much engineering support is required for their payload.
Customers have the option to request end-to-end LUVMI-M services while performing their own payload development.
Engineering support from SpaceApps could consist of:
Guidance during the payload development and testing, interface testing with the rover, safety and flight certification, software security, payload integration activities towards LUVMI-M rover, integration contact towards the lunar lander, pre-launch preparation activities, operational setup activities and data delivery.
Customers have the option to define the scientific/technical requirements for their own payloads.
In addition to the end-to-end service, we can provide design and development and testing activities for payloads.
