Space mission ground segments are composed of a large number of individual systems and sub-systems that are designed to work together via interfaces. The development of a mission operations ground segment is a complex systems engineering activity that follows applicable standards and best practices. It is interconnected with other system developments, such as that of the space segment or the science ground segment. The overall goal of the engineering activity is to design, integrate, verify and validate all of these, in order to satisfy the provided mission requirements of the operations ground segment, in the scope of the mission. Moreover, as design teams are becoming more globally integrated, one of the biggest challenges is to enable efficient communication across the team.
