Define and prototype a mission operations planning and execution concept enabling ‘operator-free’ off-line interactions with the space assets under control.This activity encompasses the following tasks:- Analyse existing processes and identify scope for ‘operator-free’ automation and offline operations;- Develop an integrated architecture for off-line operations supporting systems covering both the planning and execution phases;- Develop an end-to-end set of artefacts (including software prototyping of the relevant ground systems) showing the feasibility of the off-line operations concept.The results of this activity will feed into the future generation of the relevant ESA/ESOC infrastructure.
