SUMMARY:ESA Mission Operations Academy
DESCRIPTION:ESA cordially invites you to join the ESA Mission Operations Ha
 nds-On Experience at ESOC\, Darmstadt.\nMission Operations at its best! The
  European Space Agency offers this unique 4-day course to bring to life the
  fascinating world of spacecraft operations with its unique challenges and 
 need for excellent teamwork. \nThis course provides an insight into the sec
 rets of ESA Space Mission Operation’s success\, covering operations concept
 s\, architecture and interfaces\, the roles and responsibilities of the dif
 ferent teams\, the mission planning and scheduling processes and the differ
 ent challenges encountered in each mission phase. Finally\, how to effectiv
 ely manage spacecraft anomalies and contingency recovery operations will be
  discussed and later practised. \nThe course will be delivered through lect
 ures by ESA experts specialised in the different mission operations domains
 . Real stories of operational staff battling with wayward spacecraft will b
 e shared whenever appropriate. In addition to the lectures\, the participan
 ts will gain hands-on experience in mission operations and will be able to 
 immediately apply their gained knowledge during a challenging team simulati
 on set in ESOC’s famous Main Control Room\, the heart of ESA mission operat
 ions. \nThis intensive technical course focuses on sharing ESA’s vast know-
 how and expertise in operations with the participants. It is pitched toward
 s professionals of all disciplines who want to quickly acquire a feeling fo
 r the broad spectrum of disciplines involved in space mission operations. T
 his international and interactive working environment also provides an idea
 l networking opportunity for participants to connect and exchange experienc
 es. \nThe ESA Mission Operations Academy is supported by: \n \nWe look forw
