DISCO (Distributed Spacecraft Operations)

DISCO (Distributed Spacecraft Operations) is a coordination approach where multiple spacecraft work together as a network to accomplish complex missions. Instead of operating individually, they share data and tasks in real-time, similar to a team collaborating efficiently. This interconnected system allows for more flexible, resilient, and efficient exploration or observation efforts, enabling spacecraft to adapt to changing conditions, optimize resource use, and achieve objectives that would be difficult for a single spacecraft. Ultimately, DISCO enhances mission capabilities by leveraging the collective power and communication of multiple spacecraft working seamlessly together.
