Space Mission Design

Space Mission Design is the process of planning and organizing a space mission to achieve specific scientific or exploratory goals. It involves defining the mission's objectives, selecting the appropriate spacecraft and technologies, and determining the trajectory and timeline for the mission. Designers must consider factors like weight, energy, and costs while ensuring safety and success. Collaboration among scientists, engineers, and various stakeholders is essential throughout the design, testing, and launch phases. Ultimately, the goal is to navigate beyond Earth's atmosphere to gather data, conduct research, or explore other celestial bodies.
