The mission operations team enables the men and women living and working aboard the ISS to achieve their mission goals and to fly safely.  The next generation of mission operations will include deep space travel beyond Low Earth Orbit, into Cislunar space, and onto Mars. This technical excellence is built upon a leadership culture, which provides integration of complex tasks, makes critical risk trades in safety, mission success, cost and schedule, and partners with industry to deploy innovative solutions to mitigate redesigns and ensure operable spacecraft systems.
