Description
Summary:The Midcourse Space Experiment spacecraft is operated by a multiorganizational Flight Operations System, which is a worldwide ground network of tracking stations and planning, control, performance assessment, and data processing centers. This system prepares and conducts scientific and engineering experiments and recovers the necessary data to satisfy the requirements of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization. The elements of this operations-based system include teams, facilities, procedures, and their functional relationships, which collectively provide continuous on-orbit support of the spacecraft system.
