TRAINING
Theoretical Training
It involves the reading of the documentation generated by prime contractor
Satellite Experts and also the documentation associated to the Ground
Segment tools.
Operation engineers shall be divided into groups in which their members
concentrate their knowledge on different specialized areas.
Practical Training
Operation engineers shall participate in the following instances:
EM/FM Integration and Functional Test
Satellite Simulator Rehearsals
FM TVAC
Simulation phase
All instances will help trainees acquire knowledge of and operative experience
in the satellite and its control software

LEOP/IOT CAMPAIGNS
Lift Off End of LEOP End of IOT
LEOP IOT
LEOP: depends on the mission type.
• LEO: LEOP is very short. Includes the first orbits of the satellite.
• GEO: LEOP is defined by the nominal apogee strategy to get the
final satellite orbit position.
IOT depends on the agreement between Customer and satellite
manufacturer. It is important to get an agree at early stages of the
project.

LEOP/IOT CAMPAIGNS
LEOP & IOT Support:
• Support from Operation Teams and Subsystem Specialist
• LEOP and IOT usually demand high amount of specialist

Reducing OPS Cost for Low-Cost Satellites
Keys for reducing Operational Costs
• Ground Segment Automation
• Design Ground Segment Tools for multiple missions
• Use of On Board Control Procedures (OBCP)
• Reinforce the Remote Support for LEOP and IOT
Campaigns

CONCLUSIONS
• Analyze satellite behavior and mainly mission
objective with the main objective of prepare an early
list of nominal and contingency procedures.
• Important to include a satellite operation engineer
from early time
• To define a strongly and low cost oriented training
strategy
• Optimize logistics and human resources follow
LEOP/IOT campaign scheduling
• Design systems for more autonomous operations.
